India-based Airlines - Kingfisher and Oneworld - Not meant to beView Full Version : Kingfisher and Oneworld - Not meant to be Wildboar Feb 3, 12, 11:22 am Joining date for IT into Oneworld put back till IT can sort out its financial mess. Guess Indian carriers and global alliances are just not meant to be. http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/new-blow-for-kingfisher-as-oneworld-move-put-on-hold-367791/ planensimple Feb 3, 12, 12:10 pm Really bad days for OW alliance, seems like all their partners are going down one by one. rurouni212 Feb 3, 12, 12:14 pm who else here is beginning to think that the Indian aviation market is cursed when it comes to alliances? *raises hand* Also, I can't help but be a little nervous for oneworld right now, large swaths of the alliance are in financial trouble. Keyser Feb 3, 12, 12:39 pm wonder how long this 'put back' will be for????its definitely going to take kingfisher time to sort out this financial mess.... chanp Feb 3, 12, 8:01 pm Horrible news. Was going to try them at least once within India. Was needing a bit more luggage allowance. :D razMJ Feb 4, 12, 6:11 am http://www.oneworld.com/news-information/oneworldnews/details/?objectID=28312 "we look forward to being part of the oneworld alliance very shortly." If you survive till then that is. hyho61 Feb 6, 12, 8:33 am Poor timing and bad luck. This is the second successive rebuff of an Indian carrier. The only carrier which is good (Jet) is being barred from joining the alliance it wants to. I certainly hope KF joins oneworld quickly, because that is the only thing which can pull it out of this mess. razMJ Feb 6, 12, 1:38 pm Poor timing and bad luck.

I certainly hope KF joins oneworld quickly, because that is the only thing which can pull it out of this mess. They are losing money, don't pay their fuel bills/statutory dues/lease payments/salaries etc., have an unsustainable debt burden, and basically don't have any cash left. How will joining an alliance pull KF out of this mess ? The airline should have been put to sleep a long time ago. |
