Hyderabad: In temporary relief to Kingfisher Airlines, Airbus has said it will not insist that the cash-strapped carrier take the delivery of the aircraft it had ordered till its financial health improves.
Kiran Rao, executive vice president (sales and marketing, customer affairs) of Airbus, said they have not ‘suspended’ Kingfisher orders but ‘asked’ the airlines not to take deliveries.
According to Airbus's latest information on orders and deliveries, Kingfisher Airlines has placed order for a total of 62 aircraft. Of this only 13 are delivered and another 38 are under process of delivery.
The aircraft maker has received order for 55 aircraft from Kingfisher Red and only 12 airplanes were delivered.
"Suspended is too stronger word. That means we take some drastic action. For me it is just a dialogue we constantly have and the aircraft deliveries are delayed until the airlines is in correct financial health," Rao said on phone.
