Lot of jumping around without going in detail....
Kingfisher ordered all these aircraft......CORRECT.
But the same reports also clearly say that delivery of the A380s are only in 2010. A350s are from 2012 onwards....
By that time
1 The airports in BOM and DEL, (hopefully COK as well) and also the new ones coming up in HYD and BLR will all be ready for the 380s.
2 The restriction (as per today's rules) of a private sector airline to operate FIVE years on domestic routes before going international gets over.Kingfisher started operations in 2005 - so 2010 - right in time to go international.
3 The current restriction for any private airline not to operate to Middle East from India (five years) goes off as well. Currently the India-Middle East routes are exclusively reserved for Air India and Indian Airlines till 2010.
Now- hope some of these calm all your jittery nerves!
Wonder where they are goign to deploy the 330s.... these are due from 2007 end onwards..Currently because of the five year rule for international operations, KF can start their international operations only in 2010.
But with India being ruled by the right wing congress supported by of all people the commies, anything is possible. So may be the 5 year ban will go.............? Even otherwise, I guess they can deploy the 330s in sectors like BOM - DEL or DEL-BLR.
