Kingfisher gets late-night flying idea

Kolkata: Vijay Mallya’s Kingfisher Airlines (KFA) is planning to cash in on the marked rise in late-night travels. Come October-end, KFA is likely to start late-night flights to provide passengers with connectivity to other tier-II Indian cities from metros.
Initially, these may start from Mumbai and Delhi, but gradually, other metros are likely to be included in this network.
Another focus area for KFA, it is learnt, is inter-city day-return flights on any of its routes or what is known as same-day return connections. For instance, if a flight starts from Mumbai to Bangalore in the morning, a flight from Bangalore will take off for Mumbai at the same time and both return at the same time to help passengers return on the same day. Being in consolidation mode, the carrier is looking to build connectivity between metros and feeder routes. On Monday, KFA launched two flights — a thrice-daily Mumbai-Hyderabad-Mumbai and once-daily Mumbai-Jaipur-Mumbai.
