Not All Delivered: The Complex Story Of Kingfisher Airlines’ Widebody Fleet

Indian carrier Kingfisher Airlines made all kinds of headlines during its turbulent nine-year history, which ran from its foundation in 2003 to its suspension in 2012. Nevertheless, Kingfisher existed long enough to establish long-haul flights and had big plans to expand its widebody fleet. However, its long-haul ambitions were never realized, as the airline folded before it could begin operating new widebody types. As such, Kingfisher only managed to fly the A330 but could have flown bigger aircraft if things had turned out differently.
