New Delhi: Liquor baron Vijay Mallya is out shopping again. And this time round, Mallya has set his sights on an US-based premium-class-only airline MAXjet Airways to fuel his dreams of taking Kingfisher Airlines international.
That's not all. Mallya is also in talks with leading American carriers, like United and Continental, for a codeshare deal.
Mallya is in advanced talks with MAXjet for an outright acquisition - a deal that would give his Kingfisher Airlines rights to mount transatlantic flights and even operate between US and India, sources close to the development told ToI. The deal is expected to be concluded over few months.
MAXjet Airways is an all-business class, low fare transatlantic airline offering services between US and UK.
Mallya, sources said, intends to also use the MAXjet acquisition to start direct flights between US and India under the bilateral Open Sky arranement between the two nations.
