  • Reason Behind Kingfisher Airline's Failure: “An Eye Opening Case Study
    REASON BEHIND KINGFISHER AIRLINE’S FAILURE: “AN EYE OPENING CASE STUDY REVEALING THREE KEY WORDS FOR AVIATION INDUSTRY SUCCESS: COSTS, COSTS, COSTS” * JAYANT SRIVASTAVA (Asst. Professor, Trinity Business School, Murad Nagar, Ghaziabad) ** ASAD ALI & AKANSHA TIWARI (Students PGDM, Trinity Business School) ABSTRACT: Our research paper try to throw lights on some major reasons which were somehow responsible for the current crisis going inside the kingfisher Airlines which can be realized by the press statement from KFA, on 12 March 2012, highlights the challenges: “The flight loads have reduced because of our limited distribution ability caused by IATA suspension. We are therefore combining some of our flights. Also, some of the flights are being cancelled as a result of employee agitation on account of delayed salaries. This situation has arisen as a consequence of our bank accounts having been frozen by the tax authorities. We are making all possible efforts to remedy this temporary situation.” RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The key objective of this research study is to investigate the reasons behind the failure of the Kingfisher airline in the year 2012. To investigate the government policies and the various steps taken to fix the current crisis. To investigate the reasons due to which the whole Aviation Industry is suffering from higher operating losses. What went so terribly wrong with Kingfisher when rival Jet Airways has comparatively much higher debt? INTRODUCTION: Global aviation industry is passing through challenging times due to unprecedented fuel price hike during the last 4 years, turbulent financial markets and economic recession. Vijay Malaya’s dream bird, Kingfisher Airlines - popularly known as The King of Good Times - is witnessing its worst phase.

  • Statement from Mr. Sanjay Aggarwal, CEO, Kingfisher Airlines Ltd
    Statement From Mr. Sanjay Aggarwal, CEO, Kingfisher Airlines Ltd. Mumbai, November 12, 2011---Kingfisher would like to take the opportunity to clarify its position on the following points: • The airline industry in India is going through a tough period due to high costs and lower yields. This is evident by the unprecedented losses recently reported. To counter these pressures and leveraging its strengths, Kingfisher decided to rationalize network, drop unprofitable flights and expedite its fleet reconfiguration. This initiative will improve the long term profitability of the airline. • The reconfiguration initiative will require up to 3 aircraft to be out of service over the next three months at any one time for this exercise to be completed. It will reduce the number of fleet configurations from 7 to 3, improving operational flexibility. This initiative will add more seats to the fleet, improving revenue production of each aircraft. • The actions over the last few weeks have been to implement the above strategy in a pre-determined and well- controlled fashion. • Kingfisher Airlines has rationalized its network to offer maximum and seamless connectivity. As per the revised schedule, it will offer 300 daily flights connecting 54 cities as compared to its previous schedule of 340 flights. The revised schedule is being loaded in the system and guests can confidently continue booking Kingfisher flights. • Our guests remain our top priority. We reached out to all our guests who were booked on these cancelled flights to re-accommodate them either on our or other airline flights. We offered full refund to those who so desired.

That’s a lot of people to please day in and day out, but that’s what it takes. It’s every airline’s goal, but amazingly, only six airlines around the world, according to Skytrax, currently excel. Asiana Airlines, Cathay Pacific Airways, Kingfisher Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, Qatar Airways and Singapore Airlines have all earned five-star status from Skytrax, the leading quality advisors to global airlines and airports. That’s not to say no other airline provides exceptional customer service, but when analyz- ing more than 400 airlines, these were the only six that met the criteria for Skytrax’s five-star ranking, the most recognized and prestigious global award to honor airline product and service quality excellence.

  • Federation of Indian Airlines: the Strike That Was Not
    Journal of Case Research vol: 1 issue: i Federation of Indian Airlines: The Strike That Was Not S.S. Ganesh1 “We have been appealing to the government for a long time but have received no response, even when most other sectors have received assistance. Our losses are no longer sustainable” – Vijay Mallya, Chairman of FIA “Would the private airlines allow the government control in their organizations in case of a bailout as happened in other countries?” – One Senior Official from Ministry of Civil Aviation “Huge sums of money on cricket teams, buying more planes than needed, buying other airlines. Is the public to pay for bad management practices?” – D Raja, CPI Leader ******* Federation of Indian Airlines (FIA) gave an ultimatum to the Government of India to bail out the airlines lest they may stop their operations on 18th August 2009 as a token strike. This decision was communicated to the Government by the private airlines after a long meeting of the members of Federation of Indian Airlines except Air India and Paramount Airlines. After the meeting, the members of FIA said that they would request other airlines including Air India, although Air India being the public sector airline and not party to the decision, to join the strike as it was natural for all airlines which suffer huge losses to seek Government support. Speaking to the media on the Government support to airlines, Chairman of the Federation of Indian Airlines and Chairman of Kingfisher Airlines, Vijay Mallya said “We have been appealing to the government for a long time but have received no response, even when most other sectors have received assistance.
