…And Has a Well Calibrated Plan for its International Operations… KFA adopted a cautious approach to international operations due to the prevailing economic conditions: – Did not initiate Ultra-long haul A340 operations - sold out the Aircrafts – C Cautiously ti l d deployed l d th the A330 A330s tto LHR LHR, SIN andd HKG markets k t to t build b ild operations ti iinto t kkey markets from India, along with potential alliances with other global carriers - a step towards joining a global alliance – Have identified lucrative short-haul short haul markets - BKK, BKK DXB, DXB CMB, CMB KTM & DAC - and deployed narrow body capacity of existing aircraft to enhance utilization – Future capacity deployment plans include increase of frequency to these destinations by further exploiting narrow body fleet – Currently KFA has an option to purchase 4 A 330s every year from 2012, the decision for which would be taken closer to date, given the operating environment 34
