Kingfisher Red

Kingfisher Red, known formerly as Simplifly Deccan and prior to that as Air Deccan, was a low-cost brand run by Kingfisher Airlines headquartered in Mumbai, India.

Passengers earned frequent flyer miles (called King Miles) for tickets booked on Kingfisher Red through the King Club loyalty program run by its parent Kingfisher Airlines. In-flight reading material was limited to a special edition of Cine Blitz magazine printed exclusively for Kingfisher Red.

On 28 September 2011, Chairman Vijay Mallya announced that the company would soon stop operations of Kingfisher Red as it did not believe in low-cost operations any longer.

Famous quotes containing the words kingfisher and/or red:

    the mud
    Flies from his hunching wings and beak—my heart,
    The blue kingfisher dives on you in fire.
    Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

    It might become a wheel spoked red and white
    In alternate stripes converging at a point
    Of flame on the line, with a second wheel below,
    Just rising, accompanying, arranged to cross,
    Through weltering illuminations, humps
    Of billows, downward, toward the drift-fire shore.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
