MUMBAI, 2 January 2013: India’s troubled Kingfisher Airlines has lost its permit to fly after a deadline to renew its suspended licence expired, the national aviation regulator said on Tuesday.

The news is a fresh blow for the debt-laden carrier whose operations have been grounded since October after employees went on strike over unpaid wages.

“Kingfisher’s flying permit has lapsed,” Directorate-General of Civil Aviation chief Arun Mishra told AFP.

Less competition, that is not always a good thing.

Shame, Kingfisher was one of the better Indian domestic airlines

Privately owned by the brewer of the same name yeah?

Yes, privately owned by the same brewer, but unrelated business. The airline was hailed as a promising start-up, too bad to know it went bottom-up.

It was once rated as 5* on Skytrax.
