No doubt Dr.Mallya is an Indian version of Sir Richard Branson.
He is very ambitious, a heavyweight businessmen and politician.
Owning quality horses, football clubs and hot babes (temperarilly) are one of his fav.hobbies.
The UB group is owned by Dr.Mallya and the liqour division of UB is world's second largest.
Jet airways was a domestic company for more than 10 years untill Government of India opened foreign skies for private sector Indian companies.
By the time Jet Airways is the only company which has reach to each and every city (which has airport) in India next to Indian Airlines (Now Indian).
By the time Jet got license for foriegn flies the other companies started their domestic operations in India.
Kingfisher started in May-2005 and no doubt it's one of the best Indian airliner with hottest and highest paid sluts.
But if we look their future acquisitions they are more to foriegn market oriented.
As per the Indian aviation rule one must fly the domestic market for 5 years to obtain the foriegn license thats why as of now only Jet and Air Sahara is going abroad apart from Government babies Indian and Air India.
KingFisher is going to acquire A-350 and A-380 by 2010 the same year they will acquire the foriegn flying license.
Though it is known as budget airliner it is the only airlines in the domestic Indian market which offers personal multimedia on domestic routes.
As far as Air-India is concerned they have lowest price with cheap sluts and service comparing to private sector airlines but still due to low prices and subsidised flying one can't bit them.
For Example no other Indian airliner is allowed to fly on Gulf/middle east routes except Air-India and Indian.
Air India is the only carrier from India for Haj Pilgrimage and since it is Government owned it offers subsidy rates to the Haj pilgrims.
