Over 19 flights were cancelled as the protest at Kingfisher Airlines entered its second day on Thursday.

A section of the airline’s employees, including pilots and engineers, has not been reporting for work since Wednesday to protest the non-payment of salaries. 

Vijay Mallya, chairman of the beleaguered airline has written a letter to his employees saying that the strike is ‘unacceptable’. 

Today’s cancellations include 10 departures and nine arrivals at Delhi. The airline had on Wednesday cancelled over 30 flights from Delhi and Mumbai. The airline's operations have been disrupted time and again since April when pilots called off work protesting salary delays.

Kingfisher Airlines, which has been facing fund-crunch for almost a year now, has not paid salary to its staff for the past five months. A sizeable number of its employees have not been paid since February. 

In July 2012, a strike by pilots threatened to disrupt the airline schedule and at least 41 flights were cancelled.
