WON'T LET KFA FLY IF SAFETY NORMS ARE FLOUTED: AJIT SINGH

Ajit Singh, Civil Aviation Minister, GoI


New Delhi,India : Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh has warned Kingfisher Airlines  that the company will not be allowed to fly if safety norms are flouted. The Aviation Minister categorically clarified that no Kingfisher flights would take off till the engineers certified on the safety of aircraft.

Reiterating passenger safety was the foremost concern, Singh said that the Vijay Mallya-promoted Kingfisher Airlines can be shut down if safety concerns arise.

Singh's warning came after the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) summoned Kingfisher CEO after all its flights are cancelled following a staff strike.

Earlier on Monday the DGCA said that all Kingfisher flights were grounded after pilots refused to work over non-payment of salaries. Sources said that the Aviation Ministry will soon take a call on shutting down the airline that is facing a severe financial crisis.
