Kingfisher Airlines to go international early September

Farnborough: Kingfisher Airlines, one of India’s largest domestic carriers, will launch its international service with daily flights to Europe and Southeast Asia by Sep 3 and the US soon after, airline chairman Vijay Mallya said. Non-stop flights from Bangalore and Mumbai to London, and from Mumbai to Hong Kong and Singapore are to begin Aug 31-Sep 3.
The India-to-London flights will reach the British capital after lunch around 2.30 p.m. GMT, and the return flights will be overnight journeys beginning around 10 p.m. GMT.
A unique non-stop flight from Bangalore to San Francisco is planned for September or October, along with a flight to New York, either non-stop or one-stop.
“The Bangalore-San Francisco non-stop flight, according to me, is a no-brainer because it connects the two silicons - the Silicon Plateau and the Silicon Valley,” Mallya told reporters aboard an Airbus A330-200 aircraft recently acquired by Kingfisher Airlines and displayed at the Farnborough airshow that began Monday.
