"We are set to launch our first flight from Mumbai to London tomorrow," said a Kingfisher Airlines spokesperson, adding that, "the flight has almost 100 per cent occupancy."
Mumbai-London is the airline's second overseas route after its Bangalore-London flight was launched in September last year. The airline has deployed a brand new Airbus 330-200 aircraft, configured in two classes, Kingfisher First and Kingfisher Class.
The Mumbai-London flight will take off from Mumbai at 1.50 pm (IST) and arrive at Heathrow's Terminal 4 at 5.55 pm (GMT), the spokesperson said. The return flight from London will leave at 8.30 pm (GMT) and arrive at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Terminal the next day at 11 am (IST), he said.
Kingfisher has also plans to launch Mumbai-Hong Kong operations from January 12 and the Mumbai-Singapore flight from January 16. Kingfisher flights from Bangalore and Chennai for Sri Lanka capital Colombo will start from January 19.
