Direct News Source

20-Oct-2012 Director General Civil Aviation (DGCA) has suspended the Scheduled Operator's Permit of Kingfisher Airlines dated 26.08.2003 pursuant to Clause 15(2) of Schedule XI of the Aircraft rules 1937 read in conjunction with Para 10.21 of CAR Section 3, Series C Part II. The permit has been suspended with effect from 20th October, 2012 till such time the Kingfisher Airlines submits a concrete and reliable revival plan ensuring safe, reliable, efficient and sustainable Scheduled Air Transport Services to the satisfaction of DGCA.

The DGCA decided to suspend the Airline's permit after examining the Airline's reply received on 19.10.2012 to the Show Cause Notice served on them by the DGCA dated 5.10. 2012 which was not found satisfactory.

DGCA has observed that the Kingfisher Airlines have not addressed any of the issues raised by the DGCA during the meeting held with the Airline on 02.10.2012 and the points raised in the show cause notice. They were asked to submit their operational preparedness plan for resumption of flight operations. Instead, they have sought more time to file a reply to the show cause notice not indicating any time frame for submitting the detailed response; therefore, the request could not be acceded to by the DGCA.
