The UB Group has set up a new company in the United States to ensure full-fledged international operations. The company, christened Kingfisher International Inc, has been registered at Delaware.

DR Vijay Mallya, chairman of the group, said the company was formed in the US as a strategy to offer the company an intelligent option of targeting international airspace's. This means if the Indian government didn't allow Kingfisher Airlines to fly to the US, the liquor baron could apply for a reverse flying permit -from the US to India.

"Our ordering of white bodied aircraft's like the A330, A-380 and A-350 shows our commitment to flying internationally although, we are still a couple of years away," DR Mallya. He also announced that MR Nigel Harwood has joined the company as the chief operating officer. The airline will launch its Mumbai-Goa as well as Mumbai-Delhi flights soon.
