Kingfisher Airlines was marketed as a full-service Indian carrier that operated domestic and some international routes. It suspended operations and is not an active airline, so it cannot be booked for travel.

Where Kingfisher Flew

Kingfisher no longer operates scheduled flights. When it was active, it used major Indian airports such as Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (Mumbai, BOM), Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi, DEL) and Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru (BLR) as primary operating bases and served a mix of domestic city pairs and some international routes. Because the airline is not operating, any route information is of historical interest only and travelers should rely on currently operating carriers for travel between these cities.

Aircraft and Cabin Classes

Kingfisher operated a mix of short- and medium-haul equipment that included Airbus A320-family narrowbodies for trunk and regional routes and ATR 72 turboprops for some regional services, and it historically used older types such as the Boeing 727. The airline offered a conventional two-cabin setup on busier routes with a business-class product and economy seating on most services; as a full-service carrier it generally included in-flight meals and checked-baggage allowances in many fares while ancillary fees applied for voluntary extras.

Aircraft types operated: Airbus A320 family, ATR 72, Boeing 727

Tips for Flying Kingfisher Airlines

  • Kingfisher Airlines suspended flight operations and is not available for booking; do not attempt to purchase tickets for travel planning.
  • If you hold an old Kingfisher ticket or claim, contact your point of purchase, your credit-card provider, or travel insurance for refund or chargeback options rather than relying on the airline.
  • For current travel within India and to destinations formerly served by Kingfisher, look to active carriers operating the same city pairs and compare baggage, meal, and seat-selection policies carefully.
