The new aircraft will enable Vistara to extend its personalised and seamless travel experience to the airline’s progressively widening customer base by increasing frequencies to its current route network.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the latest addition, Mr Phee Teik Yeoh, CEO, Vistara said, “We are delighted to announce the arrival of our ninth aircraft. The new aircraft will allow us to further enhance our capacity on our key routes and allow many more customers to fly a new feeling with Vistara. With this addition, our fleet induction for the year is complete. However, there are many other interesting announcements in the pipeline timed with our anniversary celebrations that will further make our value proposition attractive for our esteemed customers.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With 12 destinations, 297 weekly frequencies and industry’s best OTP track record, Vistara is fast becoming India’s preferred airline with an increasing number of repeat customers. With each new aircraft, the airline raises the bar to touch new heights as it continues to redefine the flying experience and setting new benchmarks. Like all its previous aircraft, the latest addition has also been manufactured at the Airbus manufacturing plant in Toulouse and leased from BOC Aviation. The aircraft comes with Vistara’s unique cabin configuration of 148 seats (16 Business Class, 36 Premium Economy and 96 Economy Class).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conforming to the standards of sustainable aviation, the new aircraft has advanced technologies including weight-saving composites and the Sharklets &amp;nbsp;that reduce fuel consumption by 4% and increases payload-range performance by 100nm corresponding to an annual reduction in CO2 emissions by around 900 tonnes per aircraft.</description><link>http://aviationstar.blogspot.com/2016/01/air-vistaras-fleet-is-joined-by-its.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180779176624183196.post-5406665811572632638</guid><pubDate>Thu, 26 Mar 2015 18:59:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2015-03-27T00:29:47.778+05:30</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">etihad airways india</category><title> Daily service between Abu Dhabi and Kolkata by Etihad Airways </title><description>Commencing on 15 February 2015, the new flights will bring the total number of Indian cities served by Etihad Airways to 11, with existing&lt;u&gt; routes including Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Kochi, Kozhikode, Mumbai, New Delhi and Trivandrum.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kolkata, formerly known as Calcutta, is the capital of the Indian state of West Bengal. The city is the main commercial, financial and educational hub of East and Northeast India, and is the third largest contributor to India’s economy in terms of GDP contribution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Home to a diverse mix of cultures, Kolkata boasts modern and colonial architecture, multiple monuments, and has a metropolis population of over 15 million, making it India’s second largest city.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
James Hogan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Etihad Airways, said: “India, one of the world’s largest growing travel markets, has always been an important destination for Etihad Airways. The launch of our new Kolkata services demonstrates our enduring commitment to serve the Indian market and people, whether in India or overseas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We are confident that this new service, our first to Northeastern India, will boost travel and trade between the UAE and India, further strengthen our presence in India, and connect key strategic cities with Abu Dhabi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Beyond our Abu Dhabi hub, travellers will have great opportunities to conveniently connect to the Gulf region and Middle East, as well as Europe, North America and Africa.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Etihad Airways already places its ‘EY’ flight code on its codeshare and network partner, Jet Airways’ domestic routes from hubs in Mumbai and Bangalore to Kolkata.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The UAE flag carrier recently announced a major expansion of its codeshare agreement with Jet Airways, offering travellers enhanced connections throughout India, and linking India with even more destinations worldwide. This move brings the combined number of codeshare services offered by both airlines to 71.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The new &lt;b&gt;Abu Dhabi - Kolkata route&lt;/b&gt; will be operated by a two-class Airbus A320 aircraft configured to carry 136 passengers, with 16 seats in Business Class and 120 seats in Economy Class seats, offering a total of 1,904 seats per week.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;SpiceJet carries live animals &lt;/b&gt;on the Boeing B737-800 and 900 series aircraft, only in the hold. We do not carry live animals on the passenger cabin&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #3c3c3c; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; padding: 0px 0px 10px 5px;"&gt;
Animals such as dogs, cats and other pets when properly crated and accompanied by valid health and vaccination certificates and other documents required for carriage by air will, with the advance agreement of carrier, be accepted for carriage, subject to Carrier’s regulations.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #3c3c3c; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; padding: 0px 0px 10px 5px;"&gt;
Domestic pets such as dogs and cats are permitted on SpiceJet flights as freight, in the pressurized and temperature controlled area of the aircraft hold, subject to the following conditions:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul class="disc" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #3c3c3c; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 20px !important; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;"&gt;
&lt;li style="list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 8px; padding: 0px;"&gt;Properly carried in a container/kennel which should be made of non-chewable material with smooth edges and properly ventilated in the prescribed size.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 8px; padding: 0px;"&gt;Pet accepted at owner's risk and SpiceJet will not be responsible in the event of such pets being refused entry into or passage through any territory.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 8px; padding: 0px;"&gt;The owner will be responsible for compliance with all governmental customs and health requirements, including quarantine arrangements.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 8px; padding: 0px;"&gt;The owner will assume all the risks of injury, sickness or death of the pet accepted for carriage.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 8px; padding: 0px;"&gt;A declaration indemnifying SpiceJet will be obtained from the passenger&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 8px; padding: 0px;"&gt;The owner must ensure their pets meet the quarantine requirements. Pets may be subjected to quarantine at destination at the owner’s expense. The quarantine period may vary and would be at the discretion of the vet authorities at destination.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #3c3c3c; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; padding: 0px 0px 10px 5px;"&gt;
&lt;strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"&gt;Below are few points to be followed with respect to Carriage of animals:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;li style="list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 8px; padding: 0px;"&gt;Only on domestic flights: Domesticated dogs, cats and rabbits&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 8px; padding: 0px;"&gt;&lt;strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"&gt;Note&lt;/strong&gt;: SpiceJet policy prohibits certain aggressive breeds of dogs, hybrid dogs / cats, short-muzzled dogs, for transport by air.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li style="list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 8px; padding: 0px;"&gt;The minimum container, packaging and handling requirements as published in the IATA Live Animals Regulations must be met. These regulations prescribe the materials to be used, size, frame, etc.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 8px; padding: 0px;"&gt;The container should be escape proof, leak proof and of the proper size&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 8px; padding: 0px;"&gt;It should have ample ventilation&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 8px; padding: 0px;"&gt;The container must be strong i.e. not of chewable material.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 8px; padding: 0px;"&gt;Each animal in the container must have enough space to turn about easily while standing and high enough to allow it to stand and sit erect and to lie down in a natural position.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 8px; padding: 0px;"&gt;The cage must be properly secured.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li style="list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 8px; padding: 0px;"&gt;Pets are usually accepted on a one to one basis per container. However two small pets of the same species and same owner can share a container if they are between 8 weeks and not weighing over 10 Kgs each, or, a mother with offspring of less than 4 months.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #3c3c3c; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; padding: 0px 0px 10px 5px;"&gt;

&lt;li style="list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 8px; padding: 0px;"&gt;Health certificate from a qualified veterinary doctor.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 8px; padding: 0px;"&gt;Letter / certificate from the veterinary doctor stating the animal’s fitness for carriage by air.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 8px; padding: 0px;"&gt;Vaccination / Immunization record with Rabies vaccination date.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 8px; padding: 0px;"&gt;A declaration indemnifying the SpiceJet with the owner / passenger assuming all the risks of injury, sickness or death of the pet accepted for carriage, will be obtained from the passenger.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 8px; padding: 0px;"&gt;Other documents may be required, depending on local regulations.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 8px; padding: 0px;"&gt;All documents must be in English, unless otherwise specified.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div align="center" style="background-color: white; color: #3c3c3c; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #3c3c3c; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; padding: 0px 0px 10px 5px;"&gt;
&lt;strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"&gt;*Health problems&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #3c3c3c; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; padding: 0px 0px 10px 5px;"&gt;
Pugs lack longer snouts and prominent skeletal brow ridges and hence are susceptible to eye injuries such as proptosis and scratched corneas and painful entropion. They also have compact breathing passageways, leaving many unable to breathe properly or efficiently regulate their temperature through evaporation from the tongue. A pug's normal body temperature is between 101 °F (38 °C) and 102 °F (39 °C). If the temperature rises to 105 °F (41 °C) they are no longer able to cope with cooling themselves and their oxygen demand is greatly increased, and requires cooling down immediately. Should the temperature reach 108 °F (42 °C), the internal organs begin to break down at a cellular level which can lead to severe long term health issues or even death.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #3c3c3c; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; padding: 0px 0px 10px 5px;"&gt;
Pugs living a mostly sedentary life can be prone to obesity, though this is avoidable with regular exercise and a healthy diet. A UK Kennel Club survey puts the average life span of Pugs at 10 years.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #3c3c3c; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; padding: 0px 0px 10px 5px;"&gt;
An investigative documentary carried out by the BBC found significant inbreeding between pedigree dogs, with a study by Imperial College, London, showing that the 10,000 pugs in the UK are so inbred that their gene pool is the equivalent of only 50 individuals.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;a href="http://aviationstar.blogspot.com/p/indigo.html"&gt;IndiGo&lt;/a&gt;, India's second biggest domestic carrier, will offer daily Singapore-Delhi flights from Sept 15.&lt;br /&gt;
It starts its runs to and from Mumbai the following month, and will add Chennai and Bangalore by early next year.&lt;br /&gt;
At a Singapore press conference on Tuesday, IndiGo president Aditya Ghosh said he is confident it will expand, rather than cannibalise, the market.&lt;br /&gt;

With strong ties between the two countries and a growing expatriate population on both sides, potential exists for growth in the &lt;b&gt;Singapore-India air travel market&lt;/b&gt;, Mr Ghosh said, adding: 'I really, truly believe that the market will expand, so I'm not sure that we're looking at eating market share from anyone.'</description><link>http://aviationstar.blogspot.com/2011/07/budget-flights-from-delhi-and-mumbai.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180779176624183196.post-5238618035030490413</guid><pubDate>Thu, 14 Jul 2011 18:58:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-07-15T00:28:08.031+05:30</atom:updated><title>Daily flights from chandigarh to mumbai</title><description>Kingfisher Airlines Launches &lt;b&gt;Flights from Chandigarh to Mumbai &amp;amp; New Delh.&lt;/b&gt; Launches a Daily Direct Flight Connecting &lt;b&gt;Mumbai to Chandigarh.

Kingfisher  Airlines has launched these connections at the right time as more and  more people from &lt;b&gt;Mumbai and Delhi&lt;/b&gt; look to retreat to the cooler climes  of Srinagar. With the launch of these new routes,&lt;b&gt; Kingfisher Airlines  will offer more than 70 flights daily connecting 16 cities&lt;/b&gt;.

&lt;br /&gt;
Malaysia Airlines was unanimously elected a oneworld member designate by  the Chief Executives of the alliance's member airlines, at a meeting on  the sidelines of IATA's 2011 World Air Transport Summit, which opens in  Singapore today.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A formal alliance membership agreement will be completed soon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Malaysia Airlines is expected to start flying as part of oneworld late  next year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As it prepares for its alliance membership, Malaysia Airlines intends to  develop bilateral links with a number of oneworld's established  partners, who include some of the biggest and best names in the airline  industry.  It already code-shares with oneworld partners Cathay Pacific  and Royal Jordanian.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When it becomes part of oneworld, its customers will gain access to the  alliance's truly global network.  It will expand oneworld's global  coverage to almost 950 destinations in 150 countries, served by a  combined fleet of more than 2,600 aircraft operating some 10,000 flights  a day and carrying 358 million passengers a year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Three established oneworld member airlines currently serve &lt;b&gt;Malaysia,  with Cathay Pacific, Japan Airlines and Royal Jordanian flying to Kuala  Lumpur, and Cathay Pacific also to Penang and, through its Dragonair  affiliate, Kota Kinabalu.&lt;/b&gt;  Opportunities for expanding the alliance's  coverage of the country will be explored as Malaysia Airlines prepares  to join.</description><link>http://aviationstar.blogspot.com/2011/06/kingfisher-airlinesand-malaysia.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180779176624183196.post-6188068525674999235</guid><pubDate>Fri, 17 Jun 2011 21:13:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-06-20T01:59:11.399+05:30</atom:updated><title>Royal Caribbean International and Kingfisher Airlines announce strategic alliance</title><description>&lt;b&gt;Royal Caribbean International and Kingfisher Airline&lt;/b&gt;s have formed an  alliance that will offer customers conveniently bundled vacation  packages as well as enhanced member benefits for members of King Club,  Kingfisher Airlines’ loyalty program.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Kingfisher Airlines &lt;/b&gt;is one of &lt;a href="http://aviationstar.blogspot.com/2010/09/jet-airways-to-introduce-daily-flights.html"&gt;&lt;b&gt;India’s market-leading airlines &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;and is a  member-elect of the world’s leading quality airline alliance, oneworld.  Royal Caribbean International is one of the largest cruise lines in the  world, offering vacations to more than 260 ports around the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Working together, we can offer a number of synergies and new benefits  to our Royal Caribbean International guests, and to &lt;a href="http://aviationstar.blogspot.com/2010/09/kingfisher-travel-assistance.html"&gt;Kingfisher  customers&lt;/a&gt;,” explains Michael Bayley, Executive Vice President of  International for Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd. “India is a key market  for us, and we look forward to expanding our brand presence there and  introducing people to the world of cruising.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"At King Club, our vision is to deliver a bouquet of unmatched and  innovative benefits across the world to our members, in collaboration  with leading national and international brands,” said Ms. Anshu Sarin,  Vice President of Guest Loyalty and Kingfisher Holidays at Kingfisher  Airlines Ltd. “The alliance with Royal Caribbean International is yet  another initiative that will expand the range of exciting and exclusive  benefits we offer our King Club guests.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is the first time Royal Caribbean has entered into a strategic  alliance of this magnitude in the Asia-Pacific region, where the Legend  of the Seas sails out of Singapore and Hong Kong, and Brilliance of the  Seas is home-ported in Dubai seasonally. Kingfisher Airlines flies to  all three of these embarkation ports from cities throughout India and  its tour division, Kingfisher Holidays, conveniently bundles vacation  packages that include both a Royal Caribbean cruise and airfare for the  Kingfisher Airlines guests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To celebrate the new partnership, Kingfisher Airlines is launching an  online sweepstakes for its King Club members, which will give one lucky  couple from India a free 4-night Isles of Southeast Asia cruise on  Legend of the Seas departing from Singapore on May 23, 2011. The  2,074-passenger Legend of the Seas offers guests Broadway-style musicals  in the theatre, themed parties, a Vegas style casino, drinks in the  panoramic Viking Crown Lounge and much more. Furthermore, the winning  couple will receive round-trip flights from Kingfisher Airlines. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another advantage of the alliance is that Kingfisher Airlines’ King Club  members will earn miles when they book a qualifying Royal Caribbean  International cruise. For example, members will earn 1,500 King Club  miles when booking a balcony stateroom on a 4- to 5-night cruise or  2,500 miles for a 6- to 8-night cruise in a Junior Suite. When booking  for a group, the King Club member who reserves and pays for the  stateroom will receive the miles. Members can redeem their miles for  upgrades and free airline tickets.</description><link>http://aviationstar.blogspot.com/2011/06/royal-caribbean-international-and.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180779176624183196.post-134450761738178341</guid><pubDate>Fri, 17 Jun 2011 09:17:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-06-17T14:47:00.253+05:30</atom:updated><title>Kingfisher Airlines connect Mumbai to Kolhapur, New Delhi to Pantnagar, Jabalpur to Indore</title><description>&lt;b&gt;Kingfisher Airlines&lt;/b&gt;, India's only Five star  airline rated by Skytrax, today announced the launch of nine new flights  on its domestic network.
