Pending reply to DGCA notice, Kingfisher offers bookings from Oct 13

New Delhi/Mumbai: Kingfisher Airlines has till October 20 to reply to the DGCA’s show-cause notice, but it seems confident of taking to the skies from October 13 (its Web site is accepting bookings from that date). However, at least one travel portal is not so optimistic.
Travel portal Goibibo is selling only the Delhi-Mumbai sector on the airline and that too from October 20.
This is the date on which the 15-day period for the airline to reply to the Directorate-General of Civil Aviation’s show-cause notice expires.
The notice, issued on Friday, seeks to know why Kingfisher’s licence should not be “suspended or cancelled” as it has failed to establish “safe, efficient and reliable service.”
An SMS to the airline seeking clarification on the issue remained unanswered.
Goibibo is also giving a statutory message that the Kingfisher “flights are subject to cancellations, which is likely to cause inconvenience.”
