Statement from KFA - 12th March 2012
Despite all challenges, Kingfisher Airlines operated 145
flights today as announced earlier in the day. All
guests---whose flights were either combined or
cancelled----were notified well in advance and preparations
for ensuring that we operate at least 80% of our schedule
were made before hand to ensure no last minute changes are
required.
We would like to thank our valued guests for their
understanding and will continue to do everything possible
to avoid and/or minimize any inconvenience as a result of
the employee agitation on account of delayed salaries
which in turn, arose as a consequence of our bank accounts
having been frozen by the tax authorities. We are making
all possible efforts to remedy this temporary
situation.
Going forward, we will continue to ensure that those guests
whose flights are affected are notified before hand. They
are either being accommodated on other airlines or offered
a full refund. We expect to return to our full schedule
shortly.
