^^ Good - finally the lessors are getting something back - though they've probably had to spend a ridiculous amount to get the birds back...

The Fissure-King's ACJ seems to be gathering dust at the far end of BOM, as does his little Hawker.

The sad part is the Unairworthy Aircraft are not being stored properly thereby worsening their condition.

Airbus retains hope for Kingfisher 82-plane order

June 13

Airbus Group NV said it’ll keep an 82-plane order from defunct Kingfisher Airlines Ltd on its books while there’s still a chance that the Indian carrier might find a buyer which would require new aircraft.

The order concerns 67 A320 narrow-body jetliners and 15 twin-aisle A330s with a list price of US$6.8 billion.

“If Kingfisher finds a new buyer for the airline that buyer would need single-aisle planes, so for that reason we’ll keep them until the airline is completely shut down,” Kiran Rao, Airbus’s executive vice president of sales and marketing, said in a briefing at the company’s base in Toulouse, France.

Kingfisher Airlines approaches Delhi HC against aviation ministry, Sebi, NSE and BSE

Jul 31 2014

Kingfisher Airlines Ltd on Wednesday moved the Delhi high court to restrain the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi), the BSE and the National Stock Exchange from taking action against it for non-compliance with certain provisions of its listing agreement.

The airline also sought a court directive to the ministry of civil aviation to consider its application for security clearance to Lalit Bhasin for appointment as a director of the company.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) requires security clearances for directors and chairman/chief executive officer for the grant of a no-objection certificate to an airline to operate as a scheduled operator.

Mallya seeks airport passes to inspect grounded planes

Sep 17 2014.

Nearly two years after it was grounded, Kingfisher Airlines Ltd has sought airport passes to inspect its planes, many of which have been mothballed at various airports around the country.

Kingfisher Airlines chairman Vijay Mallya met aviation minister P. Ashok Gajapathi Raju a few weeks back and requested him to allot passes so that he can check the planes.

“He is seeking some 20 passes for all over India. We have asked the DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation) to look into it,” said a government official who declined to be named.

Kingfisher declined comment.

There are less than 24 planes, including Mallya’s personal luxurious Airbus business jet with registration VT-VJM, parked in the Mumbai airport, said another person familiar with the situation.

It was critical to get the passes for the airline’s engineers to check the condition of the planes, especially after the monsoon season, the second person said.

Many of Kingfisher’s aircraft have been displaced from their original location due to strong storms this year but there was no one to enter the airport as the airline’s passes had expired in December.

“He is not asking for special passes, all he is saying is to allow for normal passes so engineers can check them or if lessors want to see the aircraft for any paperwork that can be done,” the second person said, “It’s not an unjust demand.”

I seem to have missed seeing VT-VJM on my recent 9/11 trip to Mumbai. Is the ACJ parked elsewhere? Earlier, it used to be visible from the port side of planes coming in to land on the main runway 27.
Cheers, Sumantra.
