The ground handling staff of Kingfisher Airlines went on a flash strike at the IGI airport on Dec 16 as they were angry over "non payment" of their salaries. Protesting the non-payment of their salaries by the Universal Aviation Services, the ground-handling agency for Kingfisher Airlines, staffers went on a flash strike at around 7:15 am, airport sources said.
But 45 minutes later, at around 0800 am, the ground handling staff called off their strike following assurances of payment of dues and normal operation resumed thereafter. Some employees were paid their dues in the morning and rest in the evening. Passengers of a Kingfisher flight from Lucknow had to remain in the aircraft for about an hour after landing, as they were not provided stepladder by the ground handling staff.
