Kingfisher Airlines to join oneworld
"India's leading domestic carrier and only five-star airline, Kingfisher Airlines, is lining up to join the oneworld alliance. The airline has signed a memorandum of understanding as its first step towards full membership of the world's leading quality airline
alliance, subject to Indian regulatory approval. Kingfisher Airlines applied on 23 February to India's Ministry of Civil Aviation for authority to proceed with its membership of oneworld. A target date for Kingfisher Airlines to join the alliance will be confirmed once this approval is gained. The process to bring any airline on board normally takes around 18 months to complete, so Kingfisher Airlines could be expected to start flying as part of oneworld during 2011.
Kingfisher Airlines' addition to oneworld will link India's most extensive domestic network with oneworld's unrivalled global network, as the only alliance with airlines based on every
continent. It will add 58 cities to the oneworld map - all of them in India-expanding oneworld's network to 800 destinations in almost 150 countries, served by a combined fleet of 2,350 aircraft operating some 9,000 flights a day, carrying some 340 million passengers a year."
