New Delhi: Ailing Kingfisher Airlines, whose services remained affected for the sixth day, on Wednesday filed a fresh flight schedule with DGCA, scaling down its operations to about 170 daily flights with 28 functional aircraft.

Faced with the regulators deadline, the airline submitted a revised winter schedule of flights it would operate till March.

This schedule is being examined, DGCA sources said. On a day when over 30 flights were cancelled by Kingfisher, DGCA chief E K Bharat Bhushan briefed Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh on the tough financial situation faced by the carrier.

With reports that banks were offering to help out the airline, the Minister again made it clear that government would not give any dole to a private carrier. “We have made it clear and I am sure Mallya knows that Air India is a government concern. Whatever help we give them (Air India), we cannot do it to any private industry. “We have said it before that banks will decide that (pumping in money).

Government is not going to interfere in it. Banks have to follow RBI guidelines. They have to worry about their non-performing assets. They have to decide on the basis of the business plan of the company. If they are satisfied with the business plan, they can lend money,” he said. (PTI)
