No role in Bhushan's exit as DGCA, says Kingfisher Airlines

Mumbai: A day after the Aviation Ministry unceremoniously removed Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) E K Bharat Bhushan allegedly for his tough stance against crisis-hit Kingfisher Airlines, the Vijay Mallya- promoted carrier today said it had nothing to with his exit.
"Transfer of its officials is the sole prerogative of the government. It is highly incorrect to suggest that the transfer of DGCA Bhushan was in any way connected to Kingfisher Airlines," a statement from the private airline said late this evening.
The near-bankrupt airline also denied getting any notice from the regulator regarding safety of its operations.
"Kingfisher Airlines wishes to clarify that no communication or notice has been received from the DGCA and the airline is operating with the utmost safety under close supervision of the regulator," the statement added.
