Former employees of the defunct carrier Kingfisher Airlines are applying for jobs at soon-to-be launched Vistara airline, a 51:49 joint venture between Tata Goup and Singapore Airlines.
"The counsel for Kingfisher Airline has told us that since the airline has not been operating, no revenue has been generated and hence they cannot pay us. It is good news for us that Vistara is coming up because most of us have joined the new airline," said a former employee of the beleaguered carrier.
Apart from Tata-Singapore Airlines's Vistara, many have also joined Indigo. "Both these airlines have Airbus 320 and since KFA had a fleet of Airbus 320, therefore, these suit us," added the employee.
It's worth noting that Kingfisher airline has not paid its employees since 2012 and made promises of disbursal of salaries on several occasions. A section of the distressed employees have also submitted a plea in the Karnataka High Court for releasing the funds deposited with the court as a security.
