Mumbai: Taking a cue from Union Minister Ajit Singh's statement that Kingfisher Airlines could approach other carriers for safety certification, the Vijay Mallya- promoted airline has reportedly approached Air India and others for getting its aircraft checked for certification.
"Kingfisher Airlines is in talks with Air India, IndiGo and Jet Airways to get its aircraft certified by their engineers for flying," an airline source said here this evening. All these carriers operate a mix of Airbus and Boeing fleet while Kingfisher operates only Airbus planes.
Earlier in the day, the Aviation Minister had said, "We can't allow Kingfisher to fly until their aircraft are certified. (Since) their engineers are on strike, they can get the planes certified by other engineers also."
