Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Hi Thermal,

I still saw 3 of their A330's almost at the same time at Hong Kong last march, when I landed there on a business trip. They've got loads of Airbuses on order as well...
I know that Kingfisher has been facing financial difficulties for years in a row, but your remark seems to indicate that they will be gone for good soon?

It was undergoing maintenance at Fokker Services, as far I know it's back to the lessor: AerCap. I'll look it up tomorrow at work :)

Edit:
Aircraft type contracted: Airbus A320. msn 2502 (ex-KingFisher). Aircraft input date monday March 26th - delivery date end of May '12.
Somewhere this week another ex-KingFisher machine should be arriving for a similar C-check.
