"We have also taken shareholders nod for raising $100 million through rights issue and $100 million through GDR (Global Depository Receipts)," Kingfisher Airlines Chairman Vijay Mallya told reporters on the sidelines of the India Economic Summit here.
The money is likely to be raised in the current financial year and it would be used for "retiring debts", he added.
He also said that the airline would start services to more international destinations for which it has got approval from the government.
"We are making better use of narrow-body aircraft by extending flights to neighbouring countries for which we have applied to the government in certain cases. We are waiting for permission. In certain cases, we have got the permission and we will start these operations," he said.
