Kingfisher to plan for Charter Service

The owner of Kingfisher Airlines, Vijaya Malya has planned to use its a-330s and A-340s, to be deployed on international routes. These aircrafts are yet not with him but will join its fleet by this month-end. For this to come into action the discussions with large travel houses are going on. Before this the plan was to use the three A-330s wide-bodied aircraft on domestic routes. The routes are like Bangalore-Delhi. This is not very long in real terms.
But the main hurdle in the process is that while using A-330 on domestic flights would need to park this plan on international terminal side where both the passengers as well the baggage will have to be taken over the long distance between international and digestive side. This is not feasible and would not suit to travellers.
Although the plan seems to be fascinating, the 215 seater aircraft would be cost effective if used for continuously for 10 hour flights like India-Europe. This is the case of 215 seater but the 250 seater aircrafts are also there who can fly non stop for 19.5 hours as per officials on routes like India-US. Apart from this the plans for using these aircrafts for commercial training and charters is also in the process.
Apart from foreign airlines the Kingfisher had also planned to offer its charter services to other carriers also like Air India but only found few interested ones as the former is planning to offer services for few two to three months only.
