Kingfisher cancels eight outbound flights

Troubled private airliner Kingfisher today cancelled eight outbound flights from Chennai, including services to Delhi.

Flights to Delhi, Bangalore, Vishakapatnam and Kochi were cancelled, airport sources said.

Owned by industrialist Vijay Mallya, Kingfisher Airlines has been facing serious financial crunch, as it grappled with flight curtailment for the past few days with a section of pilots and cabin crew too not reporting for work.
