They aren't starting from scratch. Both airlines already had rechristened budget carriers - Jet Lite and Kingfisher Red - acquired in 2007. Now they are transferring capacity to the economy fleets. Kingfisher Red jets are flying more routes; as a result, about 75% of all domestic passengers that now fly with Kingfisher are traveling budget class, up from 50% a year ago.
