Cash-strapped Kingfisher Airlines employees resumed work today after striking a deal with the management and agreeing to the staggered salary payment schedule proposed by the company.

Meanwhile, Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh said that the airline has to satisfy the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and paying salaries is not enough.

Airline CEO Sanjay Aggarwal is to meet the DGCA officials this afternoon to present a roadmap for the revival of the airlines. The airline engineers have to clear aircraft for airworthiness and the company has to prove there is no dispute with employees and that all arrears are being paid.

The meeting comes after the striking employees and management shook hands on a staggered salary payment plan. They have been promised that they will get four months salary before Diwali.
