British Airways signed (07-Sep-2010) a codeshare with Kingfisher Airlines for services across India, Sri Lanka, the UK and continental Europe, effective 15-Sep-2010. This is the first time that BA has codeshared with an Indian airline. BA's code will be placed on 11 domestic Indian routes and one route to Sri Lanka operated by Kingfisher while Kingfisher's code will be placed on nine BA routes from Heathrow to the UK regions and continental Europe.
