Kingfisher Airlines is accepting bookings despite instructions from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation to suspend them.
The airline management has extended the partial lockout till October 12 and is accepting bookings on its website beyond the date.
The airline has however put out a notice on its website that all its flights are subject to regulatory approval.
Last Friday the DGCA Arun Mishra issued a show cause notice to the airline why its operating permit should not be suspended in the wake of employee protests over unpaid salaries.
Mishra has directed the airline not to accept fresh bookings till the regulator reviews the airline's operations plan. "They (Kingfisher) has to satisfy us with operations plan,'' Mishra said.
