New Delhi, Oct 20 (ANI): Aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) today suspended flying licence of cash-strapped Kingfisher Airlines till further orders.
Earlier, in a bid to retain its licence, grounded Kingfisher Airlines had replied to the DGCA's show-cause notice of October 5 as it had "failed to establish a safe, efficient and reliable service".
The action was taken after the airline's reply had nothing concrete to offer that could allay these fears and had just sought more time to reply, sources said.
The cash-strapped airline has stopped selling tickets on its website through October 20, as it struggles to convince pilots and engineers who haven"t been paid for months, to return to work.
The airline's website also warns passengers that "all flights are subject to regulatory approval."
Kingfisher, once one of India's best airlines, grounded flights on October 1.
Earlier in October, Union Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh said after Kingfisher Airlines replies to the show cause notice, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) would take a decision if the cash-trapped airline fulfils safety and maintenance requirements. (ANI)
