New Delhi: Troubled Kingfisher Airlines would have to submit a detailed plan to aviation regulator DGCA before they are allowed to resume flights, Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh said on Saturday.
Asked whether the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) was likely to move ahead with suspending or cancelling the crisis-ridden carrier's flying license, he said it was for the regulator to decide after it studies their reply to the show-cause notice issued to them.
DGCA had yesterday issued a show-cause notice to Kingfisher asking why its flying license should not be suspended or cancelled as it had grounded its entire fleet and failed to offer safe, efficient and reliable service. It has given the airline 15 days to reply.
"This (suspension or cancellation) has to be decided by the DGCS. It will depend on what reply they give, what plans they have (to resume operations). How they will lease (aircraft). There are disgruntled employees and there is safety concern," the Minister said.
