MDLR Airlines managed to fly for barely two years

MDLR Airlines, whose ex-director committed suicide here on Sunday and blamed company owner-cum-Haryana minister Gopal Kanda for ending her life, had a short-lived and tumultuous existence. It started operations in March 2007 as a regional airline based in north India. The airline had a twin class cabin with both business and economy seats and boasted of a luxurious all-vegetarian meal service on board.
But despite all the hype, the airline barely survived for two years. Failure to pay aircraft leasers, employees and airports; violation of licence terms and absence of safety mechanism made it among the first airlines in India to be shut down till such time that it could put its house in order. Something that hasn't happened so far.
