In December when the media was on a frenzy over the imminent collapse of Kingfisher Airlines, I still flew on the 'King of Good Times' a few times and noticed that their service and food was excellent. I appreciated the professionalism of the crew and how the flights were on time.
A few months later, using a free flight to Chandigarh, I was on an erstwhile Deccan aircraft and all they served on a 2 hour 15 minute flight was a stale sandwich and a bottle of water. The crew looked demorialised and there was an air of bankruptcy on board.
Again on a Delhi-Bombay flight as my companion was flying free, the signs were visible. Sure, there were monitors with GPS on the seats, but the food served was indeed the same stale sandwich and they had no inflight entertainment. No headphone set that they would later collect.
It looks like Vijay Mallya's airline is on its deathbed and will close down anytime. What a tragedy for what was a 5-star airline and the best in India!!
