As Many As 40 Percent Of Flights Canceled Over Tax Spat
Debt-ridden Kingfisher Airlines, which has struggled financially
for years, is being pressed by the Indian government for answers on
why it has been canceling as many as 40 percent of its flights
(according to an IBN report) in recent days. The airline is telling
the government that a big part of the problem is the tax
authority's freezing of the airline's accounts, which is blocking
payments for operational needs.
