Here's a heads-up. Just saw this on BBC World.
I suggest, if you're thinking of booking flights in India soon, you do a Google search on Kingfisher airlines. Click on 'news'
Here's just one of many, many articles.:

India, What Can I Say!
Yes, I'd heard they were in trouble. Real shame, I liked flying them, and they were added to the One World alliance I use.
Back in October when we were there, there were already signs of troubles as we reported. The pilots walked out due to financial problems and flights were cancelled.
What a relief ! It's the AIRLINE, not the beer, that's in trouble
Calinurse: Thank God!!
in oct. there were issues for sure.. they were perhaps the best discounter i have used
Last I heard IAG, the parent group of BA/Iberia were seeking permission from the Indian government to take an interst and inject capital.
yeah it seems that there is no end to the troubles of cash-strapped kingfisher with bankers insisting that would not pump any more money.
A family member just returned from India and took several king fisher flights. She reported that all were disasters and greatly delayed.
checking in.
