India may give more time to Kingfisher to reply to notice-sources

NEW DELHI, Oct 12 (Reuters) - Troubled Indian carrier Kingfisher Airlines may be allowed more time beyond the 15 days it was given to reply to a notice from the civil aviation regulator, two regulatory sources said on Friday.

The industry regulator asked Kingfisher on Oct. 5 to explain why its permit to fly should not be suspended or cancelled, and had given it 15 days to reply.
