Still wondering if the 'mount' is a safe place to beMaybe, someone can reply to request:
I think its best not to go there for some time considering the recent terror attacks. I haven't gone there since the past month or so. I'll wait till the security situation improves before heading there. Will let you guys know once I get first hand info.

Nice shot TK. If you notice in the top right hand corner of the image, you can see a Kingfisher A330-200 parked at a remote bay. This has been parked since quite a few days, as Kingfisher has delayed the start of their BOM-HKG service because of the present economic crisis.
A Go Air (Orange) A320 can also be seen parked at a remote bay in the background (just above the AI A310)

Excellent shots TK. You seem to have made the most of your short visit to BOM!
Next time, come on a holiday and not on duty, so that you can spend more time spotting
Looking forward to more shots from you.....

Nice catch of the EY 346 and 345 Chaity and KS Ong! The light was beautiful
EY sends a whole variety of aircraft to BOM. You get to see anything from an A320 to an A330, A340-300, A340-500 or an A340-600. The usual is an A330-200.

KFC in Seat chargers?By the sound of it, a 5 star airline in the making..
Well, Kingfisher is already a 5-star airline as rated by Skytrax.
In fact, it is one of the six five star airlines in the world. Here is the list:

Nice cabins Kingfisher has...Rumours are, they applied slots @ AMS, for their NYC-flights (A330); if those cabins are the same AND they offer good fares in the Dutch market, no doubt, they will be successful !!!
Do you have any more news and/or can confirm this ?
Yes, they have enquired for slots at AMS, although they seem to be looking at other airports in Europe as well. I am not quite sure whether they have made a formal application for slots at AMS.
Kingfisher's international product on their A330s looks absolutely fabulous (although its a bit too much of red IMO ) Their premium class (Kingfisher calls it "Kingfisher First") looks really neat.
Here are the highlights of their International offering:
The "Kingfisher First" cabin has 30 full flat-bed seats with a 180 degree recline, in a seat pitch of 78 inches, and a seat width of 20 to 24.54 inches. The inflight entertainment in Kingfisher First uses 17 inch IFE screens, with AVOD touch screen controls and offers a total of 357 hours of programming and content spread over 36 channels.
Other "Kingfisher First" cabin features include:
* An in-seat massager on every seat
* Touch screen controls
* Mood lighting
* Service for jacket ironing onboard
* Spectacle cleaning
* Shopping on board
* Merino wool blankets
* Noise cancellation headphones by BOSE
* In-seat chargers and USB connectors for every seat
* 5-course meals
* Finest wines, spirits and liquor
The Economy "Kingfisher Class" cabin has 187 seats, offering a seat pitch of 34 inches, a seat width of 18 inches, and a seat recline of 25 degrees (6 inches).
Other "Kingfisher Class" cabin features include:
* Business class meals in economy (larger portions)
* International cabin crew
* Full length modacrylic blankets
* Full size pillow
* KFC in seat chargers
* USB connectors 1 for 2
* Mood lighting
* Web chat & E-mail
The inflight entertainment in Kingfisher Class uses 10.6 inch IFE screens, with AVOD touch screen controls and offers a total of 357 hours of programming and content spread over 36 channels.
