Kingfisher Airlines: International Service Yes, Extra Employees No

It was just a couple weeks ago that Kingfisher Airlines was celebrating its first flight to London. But now, the carrier is cutting back on staff, getting rid of 300 employees as it also trims domestic flights in the face of high fuel costs.

The airline told an Indian newspaper:

We examined the complete organization structure of the airline and mapped the skill sets of the existing talent pool with the projected talent requirements of the company.

In other words, we may have bought up Air Deccan, but we don't need to be paying all these extra people to help run it!
