BA suspends code share with Kingfisher

Wednesday, 14 March 20123 min read

British Airways has suspended its code sharing agreement with India's Kingfisher airlines.

The suspension of the code share agreement with Kingfisher came into effect on 9 March, British Airways said in a statement.

Kingfisher Airlines is "undergoing a financial restructure," said Christopher Fordyce, regional commercial manager for south Asia at British Airways, without elaborating the reason for the suspension.

Cash-strapped Kingfisher said it will cut back its overseas flights as it looks to cut costs and attract funding from investors.

The airline has already asked the Indian government to relax rules on foreign ownership to pave the way for a potential rescue package, see previous story.
