CONCLUSION

INTRODUCTION:

Kingfisher Airline is a private airline based in Bangalore, India. The airlines owned by Vijay Mallya of United Beverages Group. Kingfisher Airlines

4

started its operations on May 9, 2005 with a fleet of 4 Airbus A320 aircrafts. The airline currently operates on domestic routes. The destinations covered by Kingfisher Airlines are Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi, Goa, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Cochin, Guwahati, Kolkata, Pune, Agartala, Dibrugarh, Mangalore and Jaipur.

In a short span of time Kingfisher Airline has carved a niche for itself. The airline offers several unique services to its customers. These include: personal valet at the airport to assist in baggage handling and boarding, accompanied with refreshments and music at the airport, audio and video on-demand, with extra-wide personalized screens in the aircraft and three-course gourmet cuisine.

Kingfisher is one of only 6 airlines in the world to have a 5 star rating from Sky tax, along with Asian Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines and Cathay Pacific Airways. In a short span of time Kingfisher Airline has carved a niche for itself. The airline offers several unique services to its customers. These include personal valet at the airport to assist in baggage handling and boarding, exclusive lounges with private space, accompanied with refreshments and music at the airport, audio and video on-demand, with extra-wide personalized screens in the aircraft, sleeper seats with extendable footrests, and three-course gourmet cuisine.

HISTORYKingfisher Airlines is a subsidiary of the UB Group, one of the

largest beverage companies in the world. The branding of the airline is linked to that of Kingfisher Beer, India’s largest brewery.

The airline, which is headed by the charismatic Dr Vijay Mallya, took to the skies in May 2005, and attracted attention for its high quality product with personal in flight entertainment in every

5

seat; custom interior designs for each aircraft; valet assistance at airports and complimentary hot food and beverages. The airline initially operated a single class service but subsequently introduced a highly acclaimed First Class, allowing it to compete with Jet Airways for the high yield corporate market. In addition to its A320 family aircraft used on domestic routes, Kingfisher Airlines also operates ATR-72 turboprops on regional sectors.

Under current Indian regulations, which require airlines to operate 5 years domestic service before being granted international rights, Kingfisher will not be permitted to operate overseas until 2010. However, the airline has very clear international ambitions, with an order book for 45 wide body aircraft, including A330s, A340s, A350s and A380s.

In just over two years, Kingfisher Airlines has achieved a market share of 10% and has one of the most aggressive expansion plans of all Indian carriers during 2007. In Jun-07, it dramatically increased its influence in the market with the acquisition of a 26% shareholding in India’s largest LCC, Air Deccan, for approximately USD130 million, and an open offer for a further 20%. Through schedule coordination and joint operations in ground handling, training, and maintenance, the carriers are projecting annual cost savings of over USD70 million.

There will also be greater coordination between the two brands, with Air Deccan to adopt the Kingfisher image in its logo and to switch to a red, rather than a blue color scheme. The combined Kingfisher/Deccan group has a market share of just over 30% and a product range spanning from the price-sensitive, first-time flyer, to the high yield business traveler, making I tone of the key pillars of the airline industry.

6

The airline which started its operation on 9 th May 2005, following the lease of 4 Airbus A320 aircraft. As of July 2007, Kingfisher operates only on domestic routes; however it has announced plans to start flights to the USA with Airbus A380 aircraft. The airline is owned by the United Beverages Group under the leadership of Vijay Mallya (which also owns the popular Indian beer of the same name). The airline promises to suit the needs of air travelers and to provide reasonable air fares. Kingfisher Airlines' main "luxury" component is its In-Flight Entertainment System, a first among Indian airlines.

The airliners in-flight Mobile Phone and Internet Services will be provided by On Air starting 2008 for long haul flights.

Now, passengers of Kingfisher class are not given "welcome kits" but, as mentioned earlier, a complimentary bottle of lemonade and earphones for use with the IFE are still given. The in flight magazines are special editions of magazines owned by Mallya's media publishing house (VJM Media) viz. Hi! Blitz for domestic flights and Hi! Living for international flights. Initially, passengers were able to watch only recorded TV programming on the IFE system, but later an alliance was formed with Dish TV to provide live TV in-flight.[34] And in a marked departure from tradition, Kingfisher Airlines decided to have an on-screen safety demonstration using the IFE system; however the conventional safety briefing by the flight attendants still exists on many flights.

FUTURE STRATEGIES

Market Penetration

Can tie up with Corporate and Government Companies by Providing Unique Travel Solutions for Professional and Personal Use.

27

Can implement programs implemented by South West Airlines to penetrate market.

Product Development

Seek additional distribution channels such as more tie ups and Collaboration.Collaboration with international carriers, bilateral discussions over seats and code sharing between the carriers.

Market DevelopmentSpecial offerings for first time fliers.Try to find out new customer group such as old-retired persons.

DiversificationCan enter into other Transport Services like Bus Services between Major Cities and Other Services.

PROBLEM IDENTIFICATIONCurrent Indian scenario : Air travel

For majority of people preference-No frills – low cost airlines

Kingfisher competing with both the “no frills - low cost” airlines as well as those with frills.

Three unique classes of service :–

o Kingfisher First (Business class)

o Kingfisher Class (Premium economy)

o Kingfisher Red (Low fare)

Current segmentation based on social class & income level

Social classes: which use full carrier services and those which use first class services of the railways

28

Income level : Low cost carrier for those who travel by first class railway

Problem with positioning

Brand relates to Lifestyle

RECOMMENDATIONS Needs to change brand perception

Currently perceived as Lifestyle slogan

Red color of crew :Reflects Royalty

Over dependence on brand image of Mr. Mallaya

Jet airways : Reflects professionalism

Advertisement reflecting Value for Money

Gain operational efficiencies through alliances as with Jet Airways

Leverage Upon:

New fleet, Unmatched flight service

Innovative ideas-LIVE TV with 16 channels

Air Boutique, in Kingfisher Airlines

29

A joint promotion, i.e. using MakeMyTrip services and flying Kingfisher Airlines.

By partnering with Kingfisher Airlines, further convenience in travel is offered at no extra cost- Added value

Fleet size expansion

SUGGESTION Reduce the labor cost

Simplify the flight operations

Offer more transparent pricing

Get smart on fuel

The process of acquiring spice jet if complete would make kingfisher the largest player in the aviation industry

Different modes of pricing should be taken care of.

CONCLUSIONAfter doing a study of this project representing on Kingfisher

Airlines, I have come to a conclusion that Kingfisher Airlines is one of the largest and most widespread airlines of the country providing its services not only in India as well as outside India also. It has alliance with many other airlines in this sector.

30

Kingfisher Airlines offers world class services to the customer at a nominal rate. The national carrier takes immense pride in having successfully played a pivotal role in making various facets of India popular with the people of the world and acting as the country’s cultural ambassador. The airline uses the services of one of the advanced plans been operated in the world. To sum up I would like to say that Kingfisher Airlines is serving its customer in an appreciated way and going to be in the list of best services providers in coming years.
