Kingfisher Airlines has canceled more than one quarter of its flights since Monday because many pilots have failed to report for work as India’s tax authorities continue to freeze the carrier’s bank accounts over non-payment of taxes. “Yes, there is difficulty. But we are doing the best we can under the circumstances,” says Chairman Vijay Mallya. “The focus is on making sure that traveling interests of public are held high.” The airline is operating only 160 flights a day, down from 400 six months ago.
