India’s Kingfisher Airline now flies to London and Hongkong

 

New
Delhi: Kingfisher Airlines, India’s only Five
Star Airline rated by Skytrax, flagged-off its inaugural flight on the
New
Delhi-Hong Kong route. This is the second international destination to
be served
by Kingfisher Airlines out of New Delhi and flights on this route will
operate
six times a week. Kingfisher Airlines has also started a daily non-stop
service
between Delhi and London from March 28.

Kingfisher
Airlines’ flight IT 031 will take-off from
New Delhi at 11.45 pm and arrive at Hong Kong at 7.40 am, local time.
From Hong
Kong, flight IT 032 will leave at 6.15 pm and arrive the same day at
9.45 pm in
New Delhi, local time. The flights from Delhi-Hong Kong will operate
daily
(except on Tuesday’s) and daily from Hong Kong-New Delhi (except
Wednesday’s).

Commenting
on the launch of this new international
route, Dr. Vijay Mallya, Chairman and CEO, Kingfisher Airlines Limited
said, “I
am delighted to announce the launch of Kingfisher Airlines’ second
international
route out of New Delhi. We have set new standards in international
travel with
the unique Kingfisher experience that has earned us a 5 Star rating from

Skytrax.

Given
the strong linkages between India and Hong
Kong, we believe that there is untapped potential and these new routes
promise
to serve the unmet needs of discerning corporate and leisure flyers.
Within a
very short time since launch, Kingfisher Airlines emerged as the market
leader
on the Mumbai – Hong Kong route and we expect to consolidate our
leadership
position further by being the preferred airline on the New Delhi -Hong
Kong
route too, very soon.”

Kingfisher
Airlines will also be launching flights to
three more international destinations out of New Delhi and three more
international destinations out of Mumbai over the coming weeks,
according to the
schedule indicated below:

New
Delhi-Bangkok from April 17, 2010

New
Delhi-Dubai and New Delhi-Kathmandu from April
24, 2010

Mumbai-Bangkok
from April 17, 2010

Mumbai-Dubai
and Mumbai-Kathmandu from April 24,
2010

The
flights on the New Delhi-Hong Kong route will be
operated using a brand new Airbus A330-200, widely billed as the best
A330 ever
built for any airline. Configured in two classes, Kingfisher First and
Kingfisher Class, the spacious full-length wide-bodied twin aisle cabin
of the
A330-200 has gone to great lengths to make flying feel a more natural
and
pleasurable experience.
