Kingfisher allowed to fly with truncated fleet, schedule

New Delhi: Kingfisher Airlines will be allowed to continue for now with a truncated flight schedule and a depleted fleet.
One of the reasons for no action being taken against the airline, which could have included cancelling its licence for not flying the sanctioned number of flights and not paying staff and vendors, is that the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is currently conducting a safety audit of Kingfisher.
Sources indicated that till such time that the audit is over and the report examined, no action is likely against the airline.
Meanwhile, the airline has informed the DGCA that currently it has a fleet of 11 aircraft – six Airbus A-320 and five turbo-prop ATR aircraft – and has been operating 85 flights since August 17.
