According to the sources, the DGCA asked the airlines for commitment on funding, urging it to talk to its stakeholders. "We have asked KFA for commitment on funding...want assurance from the UB Group on funding," said sources.

They further said that the crisis-ridden airline must satisfy the stakeholders with the revival plan for the renewal of its licence, adding that it had not provided clarity on funding operations.
