Kingfisher Airlines pilots call off strike

Kingfisher pilots have called off their strike after the airline management assured that their salaries would be paid by May 15, airline sources said.

A section of pilots of cash-strapped Kingfisher Airlines had gone on strike from Thursday demanding payment of their salaries. The airline's northern sector operations were particularly hit due to the strike.

The striking pilots claimed that the airline management went back on its commitment of paying their salaries from May 9.
