Employees of Kingfisher Airlines today came to a wage settlement with the management of the cash-strapped carrier and called off their 25-day-long strike.
"We have reached an agreement with the management on the salary issue. We will join back work immediately," Satish Chandra Mishra, an aircraft service engineer told reporters after meeting with company's chief executive Sanjay Aggarwal at the Indira Gandhi International Airport's Terminal-3.
The breakthrough came after both the sides agreed that pending salaries of four months will be given out before the year-end.
