On 18 February 2005 Kingfisher Airlines signed a contract with Airbus for three Airbus A319 aircraft, adding to the ten Airbus A320 aircraft (plus twenty options) ordered in January 2005. The first of the A319s will be delivered in December 2005, complementing the A320s on routes to smaller cities in India. (ref: Air International April 2005)
On June 15 it became the first private airline in the world to order the 555 seater "superjumbo" Airbus A380. It therefore becomes the first Indian airline to place the order for the aircraft.
