In one of the largest single orders by a private airline in the country, Kingfisher Airlines is buying 50 aircraft from Airbus. The chairman of United Breweries Group, Vijay Mallya and Airbus Chief Operating Officer John Leahy signed an MOU to the effect at the 47th International Paris Air show at Le Bourget on Wednesday. Mallya says he plans to open new long-haul routes and expand existing ones. This would include direct flights between India and the United States and also services to Europe.

Here's a good joke on Mallya :-)

After an international beer conference in London, all the world's top brewery bosses decide to go out for a beer together.

The Chairman of Budweiser says, "I'd like the most refreshing beer in the world, 'The King Of Beers': give me a Budweiser."

The bartender takes a bottle from the shelf and opens it for him .

The Chairman of Guiness says, "I'd like the only beer in the world worth really, truly waiting for: give me a Guinness."

The bartender serves him.

The Chairman of Carlsberg says, " I would like the world's best beer, drunk in more countries than any other: give me a Carlsberg."

He gets it.

Vijay Mallaya sits down, looks around and says, "Just give me a Coke."

The bartender looks at him, shrugs, and serves him.

The other brewery bosses laugh loudly and say, "Hey Vijay, how come you aren't drinking a Kingfisher?"

"Listen," says Vijay Mallya, " If you guys aren't drinking beer, neither will I"
