Burden of flying on weak wings

This can be expected the condition of Indian airlines companies from the current condition of Kingfisher Airlines.This private airlines company have canceled dozens of its flight for last three days and the condition doesn't seem improving in the forthcoming days also.This company is cruising towards the bankruptcy,even they are not paying the salary to their employees.

More than half of their pilots have resigned in last few months.There is no dearth of doubt that his wine companies are making profit but his airlines companies are in the loss, this can not be only the issue of mis-management.Beleaguered Kingfisher Airline’s top brass has been called on Tuesday to brief aviation regulator DGCA about their plans to end the large-scale disruptions of flights and their financial troubles.

Aviation minister Ajit Singh has also said that there would be no bail out package and ended the speculation.The company itself is responsible for its condition and our aviation rules are also responsible for this condition.Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh told reporters, “We have to hear out Kingfisher. We don’t know what their plans are, how they are going to restore normal schedule. Then there are safety issues which they have to answer“.

DGCA even at this juncture is driving with the aviation rule of 1937.There is something fishy in that.Only Kingfisher is not only in the loss,there are many more companies which has been struggling with this condition for last few years.The Govt. airlines Air India is proving the white elephant.


The resignation of the pilots have taken the total number of those who have quit to about 80 since last October, industry sources said.

Kingfisher has been suffering from a severe cash crunch that has culminated into the Income Tax authorities freezing its bank accounts last week on grounds of non—payment of tax dues.

The carrier had yesterday cancelled 30 flights including those to Bangkok, Singapore, Kathmandu and Dhaka, leaving hundreds of passengers stranded at various airports across the country.
