"Kingfisher is not operational. Therefore, it is not an active participant of 'oneworld' any more," Tom Horton, Chairman of 'oneworld' and American Airways' chief, told PTI on the sidelines of IATA's annual general meeting in Cape Town.
Asked whether the alliance had any plans to induct Indian carriers especially the no-frill ones, he said there were ‘no immediate plans' for induction from India and there were no ongoing discussions with any Indian airline.
"We have an important presence in the Indian subcontinent through our member carriers like Qatar Airways and Sri Lankan Airlines flying into India," Horton said, adding that Etihad Airways was also being extended an invitation to join the alliance.
Following its suspension by the International Air Transport Association for failure to clear dues last year, Kingfisher Airlines agreed with the global alliance
