Kingfisher Airlines returned an Airbus A330-200 to a lessor in Britain and plans to curtail international services to arrest further losses. The airline, however, did not mention which international sectors it will cut or when—but the Mumbai-London Heathrow route no longer is available for online booking. Its New Delhi-London Heathrow options remain for now. Kingfisher uses A330s for flights from India to places such as London and Hong Kong, and narrowbody A320s for flights to cities in South Asia.

India Friday unveiled a 40 billion rupee ($800 million) bailout package for cash-strapped flag carrier Air India as part of the federal government’s budget for the fiscal year beginning April 1. Although the cash infusion will provide relief to the state-run carrier, which has been struggling with high fuel prices and a large debt load, the package is smaller than the 55 billion rupees that had been expected.

Of all the aircraft on view at the India Aviation air show in Hyderabad, the Boeing 787 painted in Air India's livery may have been the most curious—and embarrassing. The 787 has been ready for delivery since December, with a second aircraft in hand for the customer as well, but neither will begin revenue service anytime soon because Air India has yet to train any pilots to fly the new transport. The interior cabin is configured for 238 economy- and 18 business-class seats.
