And it's quite sad to see them going for a seat that is neither modern nor from a reputed manufacturer. IMHO, they should have utilized the space better with some other seats like the Contour or B/E Diamond.

Does anybody know what aircraft Kingfisher will be using for the above routes ?Comment
-
It's ATR72. However they are listed as codeshares. http://www.flightglobal.com/blogs/th...o-colombo.htmlComment

^ It seems it's definitely happening this time.Comment

Kingfisher Flight Schedule clearly shows that they will be using a single aircraft for these new routes. Btw Flight Booking for Colombo to Kochi, Trichy and Trivandrum is now available on the Kingfisher Website. Its sad to see Bengaluru - Colombo will not be resumed.Comment

Nepal Airlines have rights to serve Lhasa according to revised treaty in 2004. the route is already served by Air China, formerly China Southwest Airlines flew Beijing-Lhasa-Kathmandu service before merger with CA.Last edited by newsflasher; 29-08-2011, 08:58 PM.Comment

Banuthev, using a single aircraft and using a single aircraft type are two different things. :-) The TRV&TRZ sectors are operated by the same aircraft anyway.Comment

Thanks for pointing this out. I was meant to say same aircraft covering all three routes :-( My mistake I missed Kochi. I understand Kochi flight will be served by the different ATR aircraft.
Do you think these routes will become successful ones for Kingfisher ?
Any reason why they dropped BLR ?Comment
-
Sorry, I made a mistake too. Actually the flights seem to operate as COK>CMB>TRZ>CMB>TRV and the other aircraft as TRV>CMB>COK. Seriously no idea if they will make money, but will have very low yield for sure. Bad timing + slower aircraft so the only chance is at attracting leisure travellers aiming for rock bottom fares.Comment

Is this the first time a turboprop aircraft operating regular passenger service in and out of Sri Lanka (may be after Air Ceylon era with propeller planes !)Comment
