Kingfisher airlines

http://profit.ndtv.com/news/market/a...flights-314881

if it does resume, will they join Oneworld immediately?-this would definitely help them to kick start flights and perhaps regain lost passengers

Be interesting if Etihad (unaligned, but competitor to Qatar and strong relationship with Virgin Australia)
has stakes in both
Air Berlin and Kingfisher.

Don't forget the former member EI that they have stakes in.

Even worse, now they owns 70% of topbonus, the FFP for AB.

Etihad will certainly assert their influence on oneworld, indirectly.

If they did, that would be a huge risk on oneworld's part.

Agreed. I wish that would happen, but I'd be greatly surprised if it did.

I just did a two week tour of India and was in six domestic airports. In many of them, the Kingfisher signage is coming down and other low-cost airlines are taking over the office space. If they're going to start again and use their existing infrastructure, there's no time to lose.
