As of February 2007,they have 11 B737-800 (plus 15 on order)and on order are the new B737-900 ER.
Out of those 11 B737-800,I think 5 of them are leased. _________________ www.flickr.com/G-BYGB photos |

In 2005 they placed a firm order for B737-800( with 10 options).On feb 2006 they announced that they will convert 10 options into firm orders for 5 B737-900 ER and 5 B737-800s. _________________ www.flickr.com/G-BYGB photos |

SG is the hidden star IMO. The little quiet boy who sits queitly in class and emerges from behind to be the winner.
Efficent, on time operations. Low-costs but not low on class: even some film-actors are regularly seen on their flights which testifies to their image. _________________ http://www.cougar-rides.com

AKA Chuppa Rustam.
I agree with Cougar, SG feels classy (look-wise and the in-flight experience) as compared to Go Air (can't comment on Indigo, not experienced it as yet). _________________ My Flickr photos

where do they plan to use their ER's? If I am not wrong then they are aiming at Middle East or SE Asia market. Where else will they use these birds?

I have travelled once in SG and i must say that i am quite impressed with their service. Although their flight was not on time both ways, they made it up by their service.
Cheers

It pays to be Discrete & Expand gradually as loads determines.All those that have done so have succeeded.Whether Commercial ops or Freighters

I have flown both SpiceJet and Indigo and find them very similar. Good aircraft, on time performance, alloted seats and no-nonsense service. On some SG flights, I have noticed that their leather seats have taken quite a beating and look similar to DN seats!! 6E has regular seats and not leather seats, but the planes are newer compared to SG. I think 6E will give good competition to SG. And 6E appears to have better timings compared to SG, atleast on BLR-HYD sectors. 6E has flights leaving BLR at 7:30am and leaving Hyd at 7:00pm which suits people well. SG has some odd timings.
Both 6E and SG flights on the BLR-HYD sector appear to be doing quite good load wise. The 7:30 BLR-HYD flight has been full both times that I have taken it. |

Any proof to such a claim or the break up as to hw much a pilot is being paid would be appreciable. _________________ Expeditors- You'd be surprised how far we will go for you www.expeditors.com |

Me too. Flown once. As promised. Totally no frills. Good stuff. Nice aircrafts. On time (presumably because of morning flights)
Actually apart from SG only non-traditional airline I've ever flown is NEPC Damania, before it folded down.
But then when flying Jet for the 1st time it was a newbie on the block. |
