India’s premier airline, Kingfisher Airlines has now become a member of Oneworld alliance, a global grouping of airlines. Though the memorandum of understanding (MOU) to enter the group was signed in February this year, the contract was signed only on June 7th after the carrier got approval from ministry of civil aviation and other regulatory authorities.
The kingfisher and Oneworld’s link will be strengthened further with the opening of new international passenger terminal at New Delhi, where all the alliance’s 6 carriers serving the Indian capital will share Kingfisher Airlines new premium passenger lounge there.
“By becoming part of Oneworld, we will be able to offer our guests travel to more than 800 destinations in 150 countries, on a network that offers the best coverage of the routes and places that count, flying with the highest quality airline partners,” said Vijay Mallya, Kingfisher Airlines Chairman and Chief Executive.
