Kingfisher Airlines seems to have reached the end of the road with the government withdrawing all international flying rights and domestic slots from the carrier, terminating all hopes for the loss-laden airline to make a possible comeback.
The government decided to take away these rights to free them up for use by other carriers. In an official statement, the ministry of civil aviation announced the withdrawal of all international bilateral traffic rights allocated to the Vijay Mallya-owned carrier with ‘immediate effect’.
“Kingfisher Airlines was allowed to fly the skies of eight countries, namely Bangladesh (14 services per week), Hong Kong (14 services per week), Nepal (seven services per week), Singapore (seven services per week), Sri Lanka (14 services per week + 21 services per week from unlimited 18 destinations), Thailand (21 services per week), UAE Dubai (21 services per week) and the UK (seven services per week each from Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore),” an official statement said.
These traffic rights were allocated to Kingfisher Airlines between 2008 and 2011 and have been withdrawn from Kingfisher Airlines on account of non-utilisation, the statement added.
