Kingfisher Airlines was forced to declare a partial lockout on October 1, 2012 in view of the illegal strike perpetrated and continued by a faction of technicians, AME’s and Pilots. The company has regretted that the illegal strike has still not been withdrawn and normalcy has not been restored, thereby continuing to cripple and paralyze the working of the entire Airline.
In light of this, the company has been constrained to extend the partial lock-out which commenced from Monday evening (1st of October, 2012) up to Friday the October 12, 2012 or up to such earlier date on which the said illegal strike is called off, and the management is informed about the same.
