Kingfisher plans standing bar in international economy class

Bangalore: Vijay Mallya-promoted Kingfisher Airlines took service levels in the Indian skies to cloud nine. And, this time, the airline is set to revolutionize international air travel.
Kingfisher is again doing a first with its grand plans of pampering the economy class passengers on its international routes. Economy class fliers, on board Kingfisher, would be treated to their favourite vintage wine and drinks of their choice, that too, at a standing bar. Very few international carriers have a standing bar in the economy and business classes. So, it is for the first time that an Indian carrier is planning to introduce such a service in the economy class.
Kingfisher Airlines plans to add some premium to the economy class travel with this feature.
In a bid to jazz up the services, the airline is also planning to go one step further and add a social area to the standing bar in the Kingfisher first class.
Kingfisher Airlines plans to launch international operations in August 2008. It will launch daily non-stop flights from Bangalore to San Francisco and Newark in August.
