KINGFISHER AIRLINES is to launch a daily service between Calcutta and Bangkok using a 174-seat single class Airbus A320. Flight time will be around 2hr 45min. The brewery-backed carrier faces competition on the route from the established Air India (two-class), Air India Express (one-class), Thai International (two-class), and Jet Airways (three-class). The airline has ambitious plans for Bangkok and expects shortly to announce a similar Bangkok operation from Mumbai and Delhi. www.flykingfisher.com
