New Delhi: Kingfisher airlines, owned by Vijay Mallya, has been asked to explain why it cancelled at least 80 flights over the last three days.
Passengers have been complaining that they were given virtually no notice about the cancellations.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), which is the regulatory body for airlines, has said that Kingfisher has been sent a notice. Rules mandate that airlines need permission from the DGCA before rescheduling flights. The DGCA also asked Kingfisher how to plans to compensate the passengers whose flights have been affected.
Kingfisher, which has been hit by severe losses, has been criticized over the last few weeks by its passengers. Flights have been delayed by hours because payments to fuel companies were not made, preventing aircraft from taking off.
