Kingfisher Airlines joining oneworld’s Global Explorer round the world fare

June 1, 2009 Comments Off on Kingfisher Airlines joining oneworld’s Global Explorer round the world fare 363 Views

From June 1, 2009, Kingfisher Airlines will participate in oneworld’s Global Explorer round the world fare, which offers flights on all members of the oneworld® alliance and some other selected airlines.

KingGlobal Explorer will join a number of airlines with no other oneworld links – Aer Lingus, Air Pacific, Alaska Airlines, Horizon Airlines, and Gulf Air. This will be the first time a domestic network in India is to be offered by a round-the-world fare. Flights carrying the Qantas code but operated by Air Tahiti Nui, Jetstar, South African Airways and Vietnam Airlines are included too.

The fare also covers all routes offered by oneworld’s existing member airlines – American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Finnair, Iberia, Japan Airlines, LAN, Malév Hungarian Airlines, Qantas and Royal Jordanian and some 20 affiliated carriers, including LAN Argentina, LAN Ecuador, LAN Peru, China’s Dragonair and South Africa’s Comair. Mexicana and its affiliate MexicanaClick also participate, ahead of joining oneworld later in 2009.

These airlines currently serve five points in India Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Bangalore and Hyderabad. The addition of Kingfisher Airlines’ domestic network expands that to a further 62 gateways across the country.

Congratulations Kingfisher.

We can only hope this is a pre-cursor to Kingfisher Airlines becoming a full partner in the oneworld alliance.
