Kingfisher Airlines, www.flykingfisher.com

New Delhi: Aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has suspended the flying licence of Kingfisher Airlines for failing to come up with a viable financial revival plan. The Vijay Mallya-promoted airline, which has not operated a single flight since October 1, had been asked to explain by today why its licence should not be suspended or cancelled. But its response to the show cause notice issued by the regulator was not satisfactory. The airline had asked for more time and a personal hearing, but gave no details on a financial plan or operational plans, which is what the DGCA had asked for.

On Friday, the airline said it was extending its partial lockout until October 23. A statement issued later said, "The management hopes to resume operations on November 6."

On Wednesday the regulator rejected Kingfisher's winter schedule and its slots will be redistributed.

I travelled by Indigo recently and would be travelling by Air India in the next couple of days. Without exception one airlines fleeces the customer and the other fleeces the ordinary citizen with no right to be in the air... I ...

We were due to fly from Mumbai to LHR and they just decided to cancell flight. Then we were told that we were on our own to book another flight with another carrier. No compensation was offered. Their customer service was non existence and was very stressfull. we had to purchase another ticket at extortion cost to us, because the travel agent know we were in trouble. I ADVICE TO ANYONE DO NOT THIS COWBOY airline. They will not care about you if things go wrong........

couldnt recommend them enough previously BUT they have gone steeply downhill since 2010. Flew MUM-LHR May 2011 and had a very poor aircraft with broken bits on the seats, dirty food trays, several screens not working, a very poorly organised entertainment menu, v poor selection of inflight entertainment, no kids’ pack - only a pathetic mag but no pencils, colours or pens, very spicy kids meals (my kids are indian and are use to spicy food normally!), phone customer care were incorrect on several things (they told me I only had 23kg weight allowance when it was actually 28kg, told me golf kit would only count as 6kg towards my checked in weight and would only have to pay excess if exceeded my weight allowance - not true, had to pay excess) and unhelpful.

This airlines is such a joke...please do not use them especially for domestic flights... the service is so poor.. run like a bus station.. i travelled whilst in india domesticaly as well as long haul aswell and each flight was delayed sometimes by 6 hours, N one knows what is going..please do not use this airline you will regret it.. I have complained but am being totally ignored as the cannot answer my question... should be renamed KINGSHITTER AIRLINES

really bad plane tv screens were not working.food was. awful the child meal was to spicy .entertainment was not good really old movies.was dissapointed

I am sorry to say that i have had one of the worst experience. This was my third trip that i have had with this airline and you can easily see the standards that has dropped down to the standard that was when it initially started. Food was rubbish, Menu said one thing and the serving was totally different. The Air-hostesses were rubbish and completely in-experienced and the check in staff didn't understand what the passenger wanted. All i wanted was a window seat for my 12 year old, even after explaining they didn't give it to us nor did they bother to explain or inform us, in fact on our return trip we were given tail end seats that was very bad and very stupid although we were the first ones to check in. Treatment towards the foreigners who were seated next to us was better then for the Indians, i would like to know why. I have vowed never to fly with Kingfisher ever again, i would prefer Jet Airways, who has kept up to their standards from Day 1. Outbound journey was horrendous, served us lamb goulash with mash potatos which had gone off. Flight was delayed in Mumbai by 4 hours to go to Goa. On the inbound they served us some refreshments just before landing to Heathrow and that upsetted my son's and my stomach, i mean what's going on on Kingfisher Airline? Definitely not a good EXPERIENCE... KINGIFISHER EXPERIENCE!!!! paid hell lot of money to travel by this airline but very very unhappy and dissatisfied..

This was our 8th Kingfisher flight in 2 years, returns London to Bangalore (not a current route) and Mumbai plus local connecting services. The legroom is great on long haul flights, as is the food/drink provided. We particularly like having a pair of window seats on an A330 (2/4/2 seating). No chance of fat neighbours. The staff are friendly and transits in India have been handled well. The only downsides are the limited number of films we liked (eg they were the same Mumbai to LHR as on the outward journey) and the limited no. of loos in economy got sordid on one of our 4 long haul flights. But overall Kingfisher is a good choice and was also one of the cheaper options on our trips to Sri Lanka and Goa.

I decided to go with Kingfisher airline for the first time and book tickets for my mum and sister and myself. The flight went at 9.30pm last night and when the flight arrived at Delhi, there was a 2 hour delay and then to make matters worse, arrived at Amritsar airport and the baggage had not arrived!!!

The baggage went with JET airline and now the passengers have been told to contact the airline regarding the baggage tomorrow! What the hell is going on?

Even worse, my mum just went out to see if the poor driver was still waiting for them and she was shouted at by staff in a uniform, actually an uneducated villager, he told her that she could not come back in and to wait outside! These people are incapable of understanding anything. I had major problems last time at Amritsar airport. The staff really are rubbish! They need some sort of training in how not to stress people off even more than they already are with the bad service and stress. We have to work really hard to go to India, for what, to be spoken to like we are second class people. Who the hl do they think they are? What a very bad and stressful experience to have to go through. My mum was in tears and very angry at how she had been treated. She is usually a very strong woman, but to be reduced to this state by mf is inconceivable! My sister has vowed never to return to India again. What are you going to do about this situation? I want an answer and I will be taking this much further.

all flights on indore bombay route were cancelled Airline did not notify us.I was notified by family and then we were given Jet reservation.On flight to udaipur we have to take luggage from jet and change terminal and recheck baggage.Udaipur flight gate changed from A5,A7,A12,A16 after moving to all these gates which is not easy flight cancelled.Inadequate/inefficient/reluctant staff to handle rebooking,no one knew what to do manager kept on saying give me few mts to think.No help offered to book hotel either.After this some passengers came up with plan to fly to Ahamadabad and take a taxi King fisher took care of that.I give credit to Mr Dilip Panday to help us out.Spent 8hrs on bombay airport.
