Airport Authority of India has refused to allow the half a dozen aircrafts rented out to Kingfisher Airline to be taken back. 

The lessors want the aircraft back as Kingfisher Airlines (KFA) has defaulted on rentals. 

"AAI has said no...to Kingfisher lessors to allow them to take back six aircraft parked at Chennai airport," sources said. 

One of the lessors has sent a legal notice to AAI for not passing the releasing order. 

AAI's contention is that it can not let the aircraft go, as it too has to recover dues of about Rs 300 crore on account of landing and parking fees from the near-bankrupt Kingfisher Airlines.
