In a damage-control exercise to prevent India's image from being dented in the global market, the civil aviation ministry may issue a guidance to release all Kingfisher Airlines Aircraft parked at Indian airports to international leasing companies.

The move comes in the wake of growing disquiet among major leasing companies over India's refusal to hand over the aircraft and fears that much-needed aircraft finance would be stopped to Indian airline companies.




International Lease Finance Corp (AIG.N) urged India  to release six passenger Jets from Kingfisher Airlines  Ltd 

The head of Aircraft finance giant International Lease Finance Corp (AIG.N) urged India on Wednesday to release six passenger jets held "hostage" by a bureaucratic dispute after struggling Kingfisher Airlines  (KING.NS)  failed to pay for them.

A top official from Bank of India, which is part of the core group of lenders, said that they initiated the process a week back but have not sold any assets till date. However, the lenders said the process is taking more time than ex…

The head of Aircraft finance giant International Lease Finance Corp (AIG.N) urged India on Wednesday to release six passenger jets held "hostage" by a bureaucratic dispute after struggling Kingfisher Airlines(KING.NS) failed to pay for them.

ILFC had warned in January that a failure to return leased airplanes to their true owners when airlines cannot pay their bills could put the country's aviation growth at risk by scaring off funding.

According to Los Angeles-based ILFC, the Delhi High Court ruled last month that ILFC could have access to its aircraft to ensure they can be refurbished and maintained.











But ILFC Chief Executive Henri Courpron told Reuters that the situation on the ground remained unresolved.

"We have made legal and political progress but people are not following instructions from the government," Courpron said in a telephone interview. "We have to stop this hostage situation."

He did not say which Indian authorities or people he held respon…
