Airports Authority of India may consider issuing notices to Kingfisher Airlines to expeditiously clear its dues for non-payment of airport charges, totalling around Rs 200 crore.

Kingfisher had last month paid Rs 20 crore to AAI as part-clearance of its dues for April and May, the officials said, adding its total dues stood around Rs 205 crore for services and facilities rendered during the past six months as per a report by PTI.

"We may consider issuing them notices to clear their dues fast," senior officials said here when asked what the AAI wanted to do to get the Vijay Mallya-owned airline pay up. The officials ruled out grounding of the airline on this count saying such a move would be "a very harsh decision" and hit the air travellers.

The Airports Authority of India (AAI) may also encash undated cheques worth Rs 130 crore from Kingfisher unless the airline pays up its dues.
