Kingfisher Airlines unveils first wide body aircraft

July 14, 2008

A town in the Rushmoor district of Hampshire, England, perhaps best known as the home of the Farnborough Air Show, today became the site for yet another historic milestone in global aviation, even as Kingfisher Airlines unveiled its first brand new A330-200, widely billed as the best A330-200 everbuilt by Airbus.

Equipped with a host of features, all bundled together in one delightful package, the reveal of Kingfisher Airlines' new A330-200 was perhaps as fitting a celebration of flight as any, as Farnborough celebrates its 60th continuous year of association with the history of man's conquest of air.

The unveiling of the brand new A330-200 comes on the eve of the launch of international operations by Kingfisher Airlines and marks yet another defining step in this direction as the airline gets ready to conquer the global skies and take the concepts of service, comfort and pampering to an altogether different level.

Speaking with media persons Vijay Mallya, Chairman and CEO, Kingfisher Airlines Limited said, "I am indeed delighted to present before you Kingfisher Airlines' new A330-200 aircraft that is sure to redefine the experience of flying in the global skies. Kingfisher Airlines has been a trailblazer and ever since launch, in just over three years, we have managed to change the whole experience of flying. As we stand on the threshold of the commencement of international services to the UK, the US and elsewhere, I have no doubt that the superior experience that will be offered by Kingfisher Airlines is sure to find favour with discerning flyers who will no longer regard flying as a necessary chore, but rather come to see it as an enjoyable experience as we pander to their needs on board Kingfisher Airlines. I hope to soon have the privilege to invite you to sample the Kingfisher experience, first-hand".

Configured in two classes, Kingfisher First and Kingfisher Class, the spacious full-length wide-bodied twin aisle cabin of the A330-200 has gone to great lengths to make flying feel a more natural and pleasurable experience.

The Kingfisher First cabin features:

  • An in-seat massager on every seat
  • Touch screen controls
  • Mood lighting with starry sky
  • In-seat chargers and USB connectors for every seat

The Kingfisher Class cabin features:

  • KFC-in seat chargers
  • USB connectors 1 for 2
  • Mood lighting,
  • Web chat & E-mail

Kingfisher Airlines is India's first and only 5-Star airline and the only one to offer a premium first class service on domestic routes.
