Mumbai: Confronted with market realities, struggling airline Kingfisher may further scale down its international operations to just two flights a day to London, a senior Kingfisher official said. The airline, which has stopped flying to Singapore and Bangkok, is now planning to drop two of its two daily flights each to Hong Kong and Heathrow in London.
It is, however, likely to retain its free slot at Heathrow airport in London and surrender another one at the same airport, the official said.
"For some time going forward Kingfisher might curtail international operations and only run domestic flights. It is prudent in the current situation," the Kingfisher official said not wanting to be identified.
According to European Union norms an airline has to inform passengers 14 days in advance if it is not going to operate on sectors for which tickets are already sold otherwise they will not only have to refund but also will have to pay penalties. Kingfisher did not respond to an email.
