⢠Acquiring of Air Deccan
Reasons for Crises
13. ⢠Bharat petroleum corporation filed a case for
non payment (250cr)
⢠The domestic airlines are projected to a
combined loss of $2.5bn in fiscal Year 2011-12
⢠Travel agents advising travellers to consider
options other than KFA
⢠Bank consortium rejected airline plea for
additional funding
Reasons for Crises
14. Remove the flights from low
frequency routes
Avoid full course meals, give snacks
Try to focus on smaller air crafts and
fuel efficient planes for short distances
Meet the aspiration of employees
Meet the expectations of its customers
Avoid aggressive expansion of fleet
Possible Solutions
15. KFA should have avoided
flying aircraft to metro and
should have taken
advantages of uncommon
routes
KFA was a 5 star airline then
there was no reason to
operate on two different
business models at same
time
It could have restructured it's
strategy
Possible Solutions
16. Conclusion
KFA was one of the largest and most wide spread
airline of the country provided it's services not only in
India as well as outside of India also. Due to lack of
management and financial crisis Kingfisher Airline was
permanently closed it's counter on 15 Feb 2012
