Employees of Kingfisher Airlines (KFA) have threatened to file a winding up petition against the company on its inability to pay them salaries.
The defunct airline's maintenance and ground staff who met on Wednesday, have decided to submit a memorandum to the ministries of corporate affairs and civil aviation seeking not only an inquiry but also put forth their demand to liquidate company assets and pay them salaries.
Simultaneously, employees are also seeking answers from the management about plans to recapitalize and renewal of flying permit. While speaking to media yesterday, staff representatives have warned if the management fails to fulfill their demands; it will take no time for them for them to take a harsh step.
