India's Kingfisher Airlines loses licence to fly
Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-20881007India's troubled Kingfisher Airlines has lost its flying permit after a deadline to renew its suspended licence expired, the aviation regulator said.
The debt-ridden carrier has been grounded since October after repeated strikes by workers over unpaid wages.
The airline said there was no cause for concern as rules allowed the renewal of a permit within two years of expiry.
Kingfisher has $1.4bn (£870m) in debts and it is looking to raise funds after lenders refused to give fresh loans.
