Why? The task they had was to run a bling air and burn cash in the hope the econonmy continues to grow and the sales and capacity utilisation will somewhat mitigate the high cost of paying for all the bling. The 'Red' operation was bought from Deccan to get larger size and most importantly the 6 yr old AOC to apply for international operations, a clause the DGCA applied to them.

Or someone hass successfully lobbied GoI to think IT is to big to fail. Very nice . In the first wave of airline failures in the late nineties no one in the GoI moved a finger when Damania, ModiLuft & co failed. This time it should be the same.
