Kingfisher is the first airline in India, to bring most modern luxury service to domestic sector. It has worked hard and spent a lot of money on training their staff, and acquiring modern fleet.
Its indeed a pity that Kingfisher airlines lost 18 crores on its hard earned revenue from online fraudsters, ( as per news reports in all media) who issued fake e tickets.
Vijay mallya tried something brave to give people a world class luxury services on domestic routes, and see how people treated him 18 crore rupees transalates to 36,000 passengers ( @Rs.5000 average per ticket) have flown on Fake E ticket, which does not belong to them.
These 36,000 passengers have travelled to their destinations, either with or without knowledge that they were travelling on fake e tickets, which the money never went to the airline.
Kingfisher must get to the bottom of this racket and arrest all persons who were involved in it.
In fact it must put a big red notice at airline desks, that they will be arrested if they were found to be travelling on fake names or e tickets fraudulently acquired.
Kingfisher must teach the scamsters a tough lesson. 18 crores is a lot of money. May be other airlines are also losing like this.
It is high time, Indian public must respect, the efforts of businesmen to give them good service.
AFterall they flew to reach their destinations on time, to achieve something. But not by cheating.
Cheating in such proportions is bad and sin. People who are involved in it must be ashamed of what they did to a new budding carrier.
Already Kingfisher is losing money , because of the rat race, and this is like adding fuel to the fire.
Its a pity, India has the best IT brains in the world, and this type of huge scam was never noticed anywhere in the world. Our IT brains are being misused.
Airlines must adopt hard tough systems to avoid such people to crack systems.Kingfisher must ask for Identity cards to prove genuine passengers only travel like driving license etc.
Its also time we have a genuine National ID card like all countries have.
Kingfisher management, must not sleep on this issue, it must wake up and attack the scamsters with a heavy hand. otherwise there will be many more born to bring all the businesses down in the country.
Until this is resolved, Kingfisher must suspend all ETICKETS in coordination with IATA .
Lets go back to the manual ticket system, where atleast investors dont lose money.
Shame on the E ticket system developed with such flaws. Credit card companies, must wake up and block all airline companies till the issues are resolved.
Fraudsters are as good as hard core criminals and must be sent to Guantanamo bay !
