Kingfisher Airlines and Jet Airways both need infusions of capital if they are to stay afloat, according to their respective auditors.

B. K. Ramadhyani & Co., which audits debt-ridden Kingfisher Airlines, says, the carrier’s ability to meet its financial obligations is “dependent on the company’s ability to infuse the requisite funds.”

Kingfisher reported a loss of 4.69 billion rupees ($89.3 million) in the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2011, compared with 2.31 billion rupees in the same period last year, mainly because of higher fuel prices.

Similarly, auditor Deloitte Haskins & Sells and Chaturvedi & Shah, says that raising funds is important if Jet Airways’ accounts are to be prepared on a “going concern” basis in the future.[/TD]
