"We are here to demand immediate payment of our two months' salaries, though we have not been paid since February. We are meeting chief executive Sanjay Aggarwal here this evening to press for our demands," Captain Rajesh Chhoda told reporters after a meeting with the airline employees.

"We have no intention to disrupt the operations, which as of now are normal," Chhoda further said.

Earlier, the representatives of pilots, cabin crew, engineers and ground handling staff held a meeting at the airlines' office here.

Since yesterday, around 200 Kingfisher pilots, including captains, are on strike, which led to cancellation of four flights from Mumbai today, according to the airport sources.

 

The cancelled flights included Mumbai-Chennai, Mumbai-Mangalore and Mumbai-Khajuraho.

However, by afternoon, the airline clarified that only one flight from the city was cancelled, which was not due to the strike but for maintenance.
