So from 10 February 2012, it will be offering oneworld's full range of services - and substantially expanding the alliance's network throughout India, one of the fastest growing regions of the world for air travel demand.
...
Its addition will extend oneworld's global coverage to nearly 800 destinations in almost 150 countries, served by a total of almost 8,500 departures a day operated by a combined fleet of more than 2,250 aircraft, carrying 305 million passengers a year, with annual revenues of US$94 billion. With the addition soon of airberlin and later this year Malaysia Airlines, the oneworld network will expand to more than 850 destinations.
...
Also from 10 February (2012), the 120 million members of the established oneworld airlines' frequent flyer programmes will be able to earn and redeem awards and tier status points and receive all other oneworld benefits on Kingfisher Airlines.
...
It will add more than 40 destinations to the alliance's network, all of them in its India home, which is the world's second most populous market and forecast to be the world's second biggest economy within two decades. Its middle class population is expected to grow tenfold by 2025 - to nearly 600 million.
Currently seven of oneworld's established airlines - American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Finnair, Japan Airlines, Qantas and Royal Jordanian - serve five Indian gateways, in Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai and Hyderabad.
Kingfisher Airlines was invited to join oneworld in June 2010 after gaining approval from India's Ministry of Civil Aviation to become part of the alliance.

Meantime, it has implemented frequent flyer links with established oneworld partners American Airlines, British Airways, Finnair and S7 ahead of joining the alliance and signed code-sharing agreements with British Airways.
Note
Frequent flyer reciprocity between Kingfisher Airlines and LAN will be implemented shortly after Kingfisher Airlines joins oneworld because of LAN's impending migration of its main information technology platform.
