Will Virgin be next??
Where did that come from? What does that have to do with the posted article? Let's just mention any random airline, shall we? God I get so tired of people like you who apparently like to stir things up. Go watch the latest episode of Big Brother or something equally more useful than this.
Regarding Kingfisher, good luck to all people invloved, hope it works out.

So, two airlines reconsider their strategies. One has its home government telling it to operate unprofitable routes for social purposes. It has a big expensive new fleet and has gone into the intercontinental market and caught a bit of a cold. It is now reconsidering its strategy. The other is also having a rethink.
Survival in business depends on reacting to events, cutting out what is costing you money and concentrating on what is possible. What is wrong with that?

Kingfisher have cancelled 33 out of 35 ordered aircraft - that is fact.
A number of their aircraft Lessors are currently in India in discussion over "early return" of aircraft where there are rent arrears - that is fact.

If you have information that a company is in a bad way then share it? Or are you still shaking that magic 8 ball.......

Would make sense as they are after the same market. Won't have to tell my sponsor when in India to book me Jet if possible now when they have an arrangement with Kingfisher.
Hopefully the more "sane" Jet Airways style and the 737s will survive, the 'buses will go back to the lessor and the short skirts will disappear.

Jet + Kingfisher merging
India currently has 3 main airline groups - Air India (including Indian Airlines), Jet (with JetLite) and Kingfisher (with what was Air Deccan).
Airlines like SpiceJet, Indigo are relatively small in comparison.
Doesn't Jet merging with Kingfisher raise monopoly considerations ? I would guess that 9W+IT combined would have well over 50% of the domestic market share.
The other small airlines are gonna have a tough job to compete

They HAVE merged.And the total share holding would be over 65% of seats sold amongst all the indian carriers(be this domestic OR international).
I can forsee very very tough times ahead for the present Airindia and Airindia express.......
Also heard Airindia express has exercised options to re-lease 6 of its brand new,most recently aquired B738's to an indian operator.My guess is its spice or jet.If thats true,its downhill sooner than i thought for the "national carrier".....

Depends on how you define "trouble". Every airline in India is in some degree of trouble, of course.
Plenty of information in the Asia section. The salary "delay" is actually related to the Diwali holiday and not to any actual cash flow problem, or so I'm told.
