23. Flight crashed
On 10 November 2009, Flight 4124 operated by ATR 72-212A
VT-KAC, skidded off the runway after landing at Chatrapati
Shivaji International Airport. The aircraft suffered substantial
damage, but all 46 passengers and crew escaped
unharmed.[35] In November 2010, the Directorate General of
Civil Aviation released its final report into the accident. It
revealed that the cause of the accident was pilot error, with
the aircraft landing at too high a speed and too far down
Runway 27A, which was the designation given to Runway 27
whilst it was being operated at a reduced length due to the
closure of Runway 14/32 for maintenance

reporting losses. After acquiring Air
Deccan, Kingfisher suffered a loss
of over 1,000 crore (US$181 million)

By early 2012, the airline
accumulated losses of over 7,000
crore (US$1.27 billion) with half of
its fleet grounded and several
members of its staff going on
strike.
