Kingfisher Airlines (KFA) on Tuesday said that it would stop all its international flight operations from April 10 onwards.
According to sources, the airline earlier planned to suspend its overseas operations from March 25, except Delhi-London which it is withdrawing from April 9. Also the airline would return its wide body airbus A 330-200 aircraft to a lessor in the United Kingdom.
Sources also added that KFA Chairman Mallya met DGCA chief E K Bharat Bhushan today to explain his plans to revive the airline.
Ailing Kingfisher Airlines yesterday faced the prospects of its flying license being cancelled and its boss Vijay Mallya has been asked by DGCA to present a clear picture of the cash-strapped private carrier.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation(DGCA) mulled cancellation of Kingfisher’s flying permit after the airline on Monday submitted to it the summer flight schedule with 15 to 16 aircraft as against 28 planes submitted last month.
