we were able to do it online with Thomsons, but when the tickets arrived it also said that you could do it at check in, so I assume that this applies to Kingfisher also.
Apart from lots of sales pitch the Kingfisher site is not a lot of use!

found this link and India isn't mentioned, so perhaps not needed there yet.

We went with Kingfisher last March and were not asked for this! I think it's only certain countries that ask for it(see del's link). By the way, the best airline I have flown with ;)

I sent Kingfisher an email prior to flying with them last November. This was their reply:

Dear Sir/Madam

You will be required to fill out ADI form at time of check in.

Many Thanks

With Kind Regards

Certainly didn't have any problems at the airport!

PS. They were brilliant, spoilt me now for ever going cattle class again. If I had to pick a fault, and that would be very difficult, it was they we had the same films going and returning.

Looks as if the situation is serious, Glad I'm booked on Qatar in a week or so, if the Qatari's run out of funds, then we really are in dire straits

I'm booked with Thomson Airways for January, so as long as the problems don't spill over into the brewery I'll be OK.

Ohhhhh heck I am booked with them, and I am not getting any answer to my emails, so I really don't know what to do, luckily I paid for the flights through american express, so I will get the money back, but that won't help, my flying to Goa.

Hope they will help them pay for fuel ! Not true about them being the first Indian airline to join a global alliance, as Jet Airways have been in the same alliance as Emirates, and I've had miles on to my Emirates card when flying with Jet a couple of years ago.

Kingfisher Airlines hit by safety fears

Aviation authorities are meeting with Kingfisher Airlines and another of India's largest carriers today after an internal report raised safety fears.

India's director general of civil aviation Bharat Bhushan told The Times of India that Kingfisher Airlines and Air India's budget carrier Air India Express needed to take "several steps".

The report said there was "a reasonable case" for withdrawing Kingfisher's licence if regulators believed its well-publicised financial difficulties were affecting the safety of its operations. It also said there was a case for restricting Air India Express' operations in view of safety issues.

Both carriers have defended their safety standards. Kingfisher, which is owned by liquor baron Vijay Mallya, said it was operating with "utmost safety".

A Kingfisher spokesman told the news agency AFP: "This is an audit which the DGCA carried out... [which] we are going to reply to at the meeting today (Thursday)."

According to one report, the audit found that of 20 of Kingfisher's 61 aircraft have been permanently parked at Indira Gandhi International airport due to poor maintenance. As a result, there have been more than 170 flights cancellations in a month.

The audit also found "major financial distress issues" with Jet Airways, JetLite, SpiceJet and GoAir, according to reports.

Most airlines in India, including the largest, Jet Airways, are loss making. According to Reuters news agency, they are on course to lose $20bn in the current financial year due to high fuel prices and on ongoing price war combined with a slowdown in the economy.

Kingfisher and Air India have been negotiating with banks for further cushion to ease their debt burden and for more working capital. Both firms have undergone debt restructuring and in September Kingfisher shut its budget arm Kingfisher Red, saying it no longer wanted to compete in the low-cost market.

Kingfisher, which flies from London to Delhi and Mumbai, will join the oneworld airline alliance on February 10.
