Kingfisher Airlines License Suspended by DGCA

DGCA Directorate General of Civil Aviation has suspended Kingfisher Airlines licence for failing to adhere to the deadline given by the aviation regulator. DGCA had fixed October 20 as the last date for KFA to come up with a viable financial revival plan. The DGCA had issued a show cause notice on October 5 to the liquor baron Vijay Mallya owned airline asking why its flying licence should not be suspended or cancelled as it was not adhering to its flight schedule and abruptly cancelling its flights time and again during the last 10 months, causing great inconvenience to the travelling public. Later the airline issued a statement saying it had extended the partial lockout until October 23, 2012. We had a positive meeting with employee representatives on October 17 and are hopeful of reaching common ground when we meet again next week.
