The Kingfisher Airlines fiasco resumes haunting its owner and employees even a decade later. An Indian airline has gone from promising 5-star service to passengers to operating out of funds to pay its employees. Its owner, Vijay Mallya, who is now in the UK, is often in the information at court trials, and every time a new sentence is declared, he scratches the wounds of several former workers who are still waiting for their dues to be paid.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supreme Court of India <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now the Supreme Court of India<\/a> has sentenced him to four months in a contempt case. Mallya refrained from telling much about the verdict, but expressed his disappointment to the Press Trust of India, saying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 66-year-old businessman appears in the case of non-payment of a loan of more than one billion dollars. The court also ordered him to deposit $40 million with interest within 4 weeks to avoid seizure of his assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, when creditors came to Malli, they worked to recover some of the funds by seizing some of his assets. But several former Kingfishers workers are still awaiting payment for their airline services even after ten years of ceasing airline operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former staff of Kingfisher Airlines is waiting to be paid for all the months they operated for the airline during the challenging time. They appealed to the court and were required to return to Malay India that justice was deserved. Many also believe that Mallya\u2019s lifestyle hasn\u2019t changed much since fleeing to the UK, while they restart to suffer the effects of the Kingfisher debacle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another staff\u2013 a pilot \u2013 says that sending Malay <\/a>to prison is not an option. Instead, he should be permitted to pay his dues so that staff and other stakeholders can finally be paid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
