Kingfisher is a safe airline: Mallya
NEW DELHI: In a wake of reports that the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) was reportedly contemplating to cancel the airline’s licence as its financial crisis could have a bearing on safety operations, Kingfisher assure thousand percent safety.
On Saturday United Breweries Group chairman Vijay Mallya said Kingfisher Airlines was “one thousand percent safe to fly” and that safety was the airline’s top priority.
Mallya tweeted, “Kingfisher is one thousand percent safe to fly. Safety is our absolute priority. We would never take the slightest chance or compromise.”
Referring to media reports Mallya also said, “Looks like the over supply of Aviation journalists will have to take a pay cut if Kingfisher does not make daily headlines – correct or not!”
Earlier, CEO Sanjay Aggarwal claimed that the DGCA had “no concerns with regard to safety” or any significant findings.
Kingfisher Airlines had adequate number of pilots and engineers to operate its scheduled services, airline’s CEO said.
