Gurgaon: Aviation experts have welcomed and hailed the decision of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), India's apex aviation regulatory body, to suspend the license of Kingfisher Airlines.
Promoted by liquor baron Vijay Mallya, the self-styled 'King of Good Times' and currently seven months behind on salary payments among other missed bills, Kingfisher's fleet has been grounded since the start of the month when a staff protest turned violent. Commenting on these developments, former DGCA member Kanu Gohan said that the airlines had been given sufficient time to sort out its business plans, but it had failed to deliver.
"A very correct decision has been taken by the DGCA to suspend Kingfisher Airlines. Kingfisher had been given an opportunity to prove that their services were reliable and safe. But in response, even after getting so much time, Kingfisher could not provide a convincing business plan to DGCA," said Gohan.
