Kingfisher Airlines on Thursday said it has added Rs475 crore fresh debt this fiscal since raisingequity was

difficult in the current market scenario.But the airline is going ahead with plans to infuse Rs1,000 crore through various equityinstruments over the next few months.As on date, bank loans of the airline stand at Rs5,247 crore, while another Rs597 crore is pending in finance and leaseback loans, group optionally convertible debentures (OCDs) areanother Rs784 crore and other miscellaneous loans add up to Rs64 crore.Then, the OCDs pending conversion are another Rs709 crore.Barring the OCDs pending conversion, the total loan outstanding of the airline comes to Rs6,692crore.Speaking to DNA, Chief Financial Officer of Kingfishers parent, UB Holdings, Ravi Nedungadisaid when the debt recast package was approved for Kingfisher some months back, the airlinehad wanted to infuse only equity instead of raising total debt on its books.But at that time the market was not right and so we raised Rs475 crore as debt. Now, we will goahead with fund raising as and when the market improves .He said the airline has already got a GDR issue approved and even filed on offer document witha foreign stock exchange and will go ahead with the offer when market conditions are conducive.Also, in its meeting held on August 25, the board has approved a rights issue for up to Rs2,000crore. The board also amended the terms for the issue of OCDs allotted on January 3 wherein aninvestor has the option to convert them into shares at a price set by the issuer.OCDs worth over Rs700 crore had been issed by the airline to three firms acting in concert withthe founders and the debentures would be redeemed prior to the rights issue.In the event the rights issue has not occurred during the relevant period, the OCD shall continuein accordance with their original terms, and may be redeemed at the end of 18 months fromallotment, the airline said in a stock exchange filing.Kingfisher, which posted a net loss of Rs264 crore on higher fuel costs for the June quarter, hassaid it also plans to raise $250-$350 million through an issue of gross depositary receipts
A fresh crisis in the Kingfisher Airlines was averted today after the beleaguered carrier's employees withdrew their proposed agitation accepting its promoter Vijay Mallya's assurance for a staggered payment of their salary dues starting tomorrow. The employees "reposed faith in the chairman's assurance and decided to withdraw their proposed agitation" from tomorrow to protest the delay in payment of salaries and allowances, pending since last December, airline officials said. The flight schedule of the crisis-ridden airline remained normal today, a day after it cancelled at least 10 flights after some pilots, cabin crew, engineers and other staff did not report for work as a mark of protest. "The employees accepted the assurance Mallya had given in his letter and decided that they would not go ahead with their ultimatum of an agitation if a part of their dues were not paid by 8 pm today," the officials said. The decision to call off the proposed agitation came on the back of a meeting Mallya had last night with a section of employees including pilots and engineers at his residence. Mallya had assured the employees of paying salary to junior staff tomorrow and to rest of the employees, including pilots and engineers, on April 9-10. The agitating employees, who had initially rejected the offer and instead served a deadline of 8 pm today for clearing a part of the dues, finally accepted the offer today, they said. Mallya was also understood to have doled out a veiled threat of shutting the air-carrier if the employees did not fall in line, saying the airlines may face cancellation of its flying permit in the eventuality of an agitation. The crisis-ridden carrier was in any case operating a curtailed summer schedule of about 100 daily flights with 16 planes, terming it as a "holding pattern" being followed till the company got re-capitalised. As part of this plan, Kingfisher has closed down several stations, including the major metros of Kolkata and Hyderabad, and asked almost half of its staff to stay at home while being in the company rolls.

Kingfisher has massively cut down its operations, including shutting down many domestic sectors and completely discontinuing international operations. From 400 flights a day before the crisis last November, it is operating just about 100 flights now. The airline, which has a debt of USD 1.3 billion, is under pressure from its lenders to inject fresh equity. The debt-laden carrier terminated operations to 28 of its 56 destinations, including Hyderabad and Kolkata, over the past few days and asked about 40-50 per cent of its staff to stay at home till further orders.
