Air India demands money from cash-strapped Kingfisher
Till now Kingfisher airlines used to pay Air India on credit basis for ferrying the passengers who were left in a lurch following the cancellation of Kingfisher flights.
According
to
the
source,
Kingfisher
airlines
could
face
heavy
criticism
from
public,
if
it
failed
to
pay
back
Air
India,
because,
it
was
the
government
carrier
which
ferried
a
majority
of
Kingfisher
passengers,
said
a
report
in
the
MiD
DAY.
"The
agreement
between
us
is
based
on
International
Air
Transport
Association
(IATA)
guidelines.
Earlier,
we
were
accepting
vouchers
against
passengers
travelling
with
us.
However,
as
IATA
has
put
the
airline
on
hold,
we
have
decided
to
collect
the
amount
in
cash
and
have
asked
them
to
book
tickets
on
our
code,"
said
an
Air
India
spokesperson.
The same was later confirmed by the Kingfisher Airlines.
