The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has written to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to not revoke Kingfisher Airlines's licence unless it clears the former's dues of around Rs 273 crore.
The DGCA has suspended KFA's licence on grounds of operational inefficiencies. The airline is expected to submit a comprehensive revival plan so that its licence is revoked.
AAI says, it has taken several steps earlier to recover its dues from KFA but nothing has helped so far.
It is also believed that Bangalore Airport, Delhi and Hyderabad airports may have raised issues over KFA’s pending dues.
VP Agrawal, chairman, AAI who was in Mumbai recently had said he may even look at exploring legal action if the airline fails to clear dues.
"Unless, KFA comes up with a concrete revival plan, we will not allow them to operate at our airports," Agrawal had said.
