Kingfisher to join oneworld alliance in February

Mumbai: Kingfisher Airlines said on Monday it will become part of the global oneworld alliance from February, making it the first carrier from the subcontinent to join a global airline group.

Kingfisher, India’s third largest carrier by market share, was recently in the news after a spate of flight cancellations in November, as the carrier faced a series of financial difficulties.

The oneworld alliance serves more than 850 airports in nearly 150 countries and includes American Airlines, British Airways and Cathay Pacific.
