NETWORK STRATEGY

Kingfisher received its international AOC after its purchase of domestic carrier Air Deccan. The carrier has tentatively developed its international operations launching mainly scheduled routes in the Asian market but also serving London Heathrow. The carrier now has firm plans to increase its international services and this week used Route Exchange to help airports engage with the Mumbai based carrier.
