Mumbai: Troubles continue for the beleaguered Kingfisher Airlines, as the Mumbai International Airport ( MIAL) today filed a suit in the Bombay High Court seeking attachment of airline's properties.
The airline owes the airport operator about Rs 40 crore in unpaid dues. Its operating permit lapsed in December end and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation has refused to allow the airline to restart operations in the absence of a viable plan.
A MIAL spokesperson confirmed that it had filed the case against Kingfisher. "We have filed the case. It will come up for hearing after two weeks," he said.
MIAL's latest action to attach properties follows its earlier move to cancel the airline's departure slots and its decision to take over office space allotted to the airline in the airport building.
