KFA is Not TO BIG TO FAIL , but TO FAIL WILL BE BIG.......for our Public Banks. Mallya has run circles around the PSU banks, mainly SBI, to finance, run and personnally gain from the money loaned to KFA for nothing. Cleverly, The KF brand is worthless in the hands of the PSU Banks. So the PSU Banks with USD 1.2 BL of taxpayers money loaned to KFA ,against nothing from KFA, will not let kFA fail, if it does fail, the PSU Banks balance sheet will look RED. So what about IA picking KFA, or Banks lending more money to keep KFA afloat.

As far as Richard Branson goes, he will only do business when he has to prove a point. In this case, I don`t think he has to prove a point :)

Just thing if Jet Airways takes over KF, it will be the only dominant one in this business. Jet has so far done well compared to the other airlines overall.

You are positive or negative about kingfisher?

mostly public sector banks... So it will be on the fly :)

And as said, not everything from him can be ripped off.

Whatever things he has pledged or guaranteed his personal holdings and personal wealth for KFA can only be stripped from him. Legally one can not touch his other things.

Mallaya is responsible every penny guaranteed by him and his other assets, irrespective of whether involved in the running of the airline or not, could also be proceeded against. However, it remains to be seen whether the lenders would actually do that in the face of the political clout the man could muster.

I am a fan of Dr. Mallya. It is quit natural that some business module do not succeed. It does not mean that the Dr. Mallya is not capable of pulling it out. How ever in the interest of the banks / Dr. mallyas credibility and trustt it will be good to sell off this business so that Dr. Mallya can concentrate again on his other business enterprises and get back to the glory. Knowing fully well that thatthe ship is sinking one should not hold on to that

It would be such a perversity to allow Mallaya to get away with running down the Airline, while chasing hapless small borrowers for chicken-feed they have borrowed. The man must be stripped to his last asset in enforcement of his personal guarantees.

There are chances for the people to work out on the pledges or the guarantees.

But not his entire assest. Legally you cant touch his other assests which he has not invested with KFA or linked with KFA.

air travel is not an irreversible habit nor a traveler is brand loyal like a smoker or whisky lover. it is essential to compete. standards/fares should not have been raised drastically. reversal of the reasons of its decline still can be revisited and rectified.dry.p.bajaj

The clout of Mallya would stand immediate testimony whether he succeeds in keeping his Goa villa or not..
