By the way, Fibga are making changes to the Dilly-Hong Kong flight.
From the winter, the return will be:
HKG1205 – 1600DEL
The poor 330 will have to make do with sunning itself on the Palam tarmac instead.
No further comment from me at this time. I'm going to hold my tongue.

First impression that it would impact yields because the current product offers good business timings and flights. Not sure if this will help build more connections to the gulf and if that would help !

I won't be surprised if this reason behind this change is to allow the HKG flight pax to 'seamlessly' connect to one of the AUH shuttles.  |

(without getting into areas that violate my self-imposed temporary gag order)
This specific scenario is indeed odd. Because there's no widebody departures from Dilly that could be served with the changed timings. And, as things stand, there's almost nothing to be gained with this move.
If there's no other route / schedule / equipment changes, then this new timing is pointless.
Unless, of course, it's one of two things:
a. they've decided to try using Dilly as a connecting point for local destinations
b. this route is being 737'd too.

Ooo double Dilly won't be the worst idea.
But I doubt they'd be able to make 2 widebodies work.
So maybe we'll see what happened with DEL-SIN:
1 x 330
2 x 330
1 x 330 + 1 x 737
2 x 737
1 x 737
or something like that, i forget exactly

South African Airways seals code-share pact with Jet Airways
August 11, 2015
South African Airways (SAA) sealed a code-share pact with Jet Airways for connecting services on India's domestic routes including New Delhi and Mumbai, providing a seamless travel between India and South Africa.
The agreement will support the airlines' trunk routes between Johannesburg-Abu Dhabi and the connections from Abu Dhabi to the five key destinations in India, a release said today.
The code-share agreement between SAA and Jet Airways would be effective from August 13, it said.
Under the agreement, SAA will share Jet Airways services as connecting operations from its overseas hub Abu Dhabi to Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Chennai, the release said, adding that the Indian carrier will, in turn, codeshares on SAA's flights between Abu Dhabi and Johannesburg and beyond to Cape Town and Durban.
"We make continuous efforts to make it easier for Indian travellers to visit South Africa. Our code-share with Jet Airways further strengthens our connectivity with India. This will give our patrons from the country additional flight options to choose from when planning their trips," South African Airways Country Manager Sajid Khan said.

| They don't fly to Mumbai, what is the point in code sharing from BOM, unless they are planning to come back. And they don't have a code share from DEL to BOM, since BOM has no VS service ? |

9W uses VS for a fair few trans atlantic connecting flights and vice versa . VS code share on both 9W service to LHR from BOM .
If a VS customer was wanting to fly to BOM and then onwards to BLR / MAA / CCU or HYD , they could book the same on a VS ticket .
9W are happy to do so as they get extra rev of VS . I know a lot of VS passengers who fly into DEL and fly back from BOM on the 9W service as both 9W and VS have a frequent flier partnership too . |

VS has had a very successful partnership with 9W in India .
Even when VS flew to BOM , 9W brought back a lot of VS West Coast traffic back to BOM on its late night dep ex LHR as that was a code share flight.
This is a win win for both and i dont see DL interfering with that . In todays day and age where alliances allegiance is starting to fade within airlines . Everyone is partnering with who ever makes them money .
VS and DL as much as they are trans atlantic JV partners and DL owns part of VS . India is a sticking point for DL .
DL partners AF/KLM in India for traffic to the US . As much as they would like to prop VS here , they cant as AF/KLM wont like it .
Moreso with DL fighting the ME3 in the US and 9W part owned by EY , i dont see them partnering ever . DL will keep AF/KLM as their partners .
VS will remain a silent partner where full fledged frequent flier reciprocity is in place but not advertised in India . If the VS DEL flight was timed to leave at midnight AF/KLM wouldnt be happy as VS will take connecting traffic away from them and connect it via LHR to the US . But VS leave in the afternoon with no DL flight leaving LHR when it lands so its not too much of an issue .

It does look like 9W's 2 daily BOM-LHR feed into all of VS's onward US flights. So, I wouldn't be surprised if a good portion of 9W pax transfer on to VS flights...
Does UK still require Transit Visas for folk transferring between India and the US?

No transit Visa required if you have a confirmed onward ticket to the US within 24 hours of landing into the UK and have a valid US Visa .
All one has to do is fill up a landing card and they grant you entry . The UK has done this to promote itself as a transit destination and increase rev from transferring pax . |

First details of W15 schedule
The fourth daily BOM-IXE-BOM gets dropped. This airplane continued from IXE as IXE-AUH-IXE.
The new routing is AUH-IXE-BLR-DEL. Aircraft returns as DEL-BOM-BLR-IXE-AUH. This makes BOM-DEL-BOM 16 daily both ways, BOM-BLR-BOM 11 daily both ways and BLR-DEL-BLR 10 daily both ways (Corrects some bizarre one way routings that have existed for a long time).
Other changes that I can see -
DEL-VNS-DEL goes to 2 daily, DEL-AMD-DEL goes to 3 daily. DEL-IXR 1 daily gets dropped |

Looks like the A330 goes on DEL BOM DEL run (9W 362/361 rotation, DEL departure at 1730, BOM departure at 2110)
Will take this aircraft utilization to 15+ hours |

We are not a feeder airline of Etihad: Goyal
August 15, 2015
Jet Airways has not become Etihad's feeder airline, the airline's chairman Naresh Goyal has stated. "Abu Dhabi is our gateway, but we have helped to increase traffic at both Mumbai and Delhi airports. Air India is now a member of Star Alliance so does it mean it has become a feeder of Star Alliance airlines," Goyal said while responding to media queries.
Jet continued efforts to build its home hubs in Mumbai and New Delhi and have seen transfer traffic grow 35 per cent in Mumbai and 13 per cent in New Delhi, the airline said.
"Our partnership with Jet is generating traction. Etihad and Jet have together flown more passengers to India and than flying them out. We have increased our capacity to India and are looking to introduce an Airbus A380 to the Mumbai route from first half of next year," Etihad president James Hogan said.

Jet Airways’ fleet to remain unchanged for three years
Aug 15 2015
Jet Airways said its fleet will remain unchanged for one to three years as yields are under pressure due to price wars.
The airline will increase capacity by only 10%, acting chief finance officer Ravichandran Narayan said.
Addressing shareholders at the company’s 22nd annual general meeting, Narayan said yields are under pressure due to price wars, adding that revenue growth will be in line with capacity growth.
The airline will receive Boeing Dreamliners or B787s by the end of 2017, he said.

Jet Airways reports one of the best ever quarterly profits
Jet Airways reports one of the best ever quarterly profits
Jet Airways, the largest Indian Full Service Carrier by market share announced its Q1-FY2016 results recently. The airline which is listed in India and has a 24% stake by Etihad Airways PJSC reported a net profit of INR 221.7 Cr compared to a loss of INR 217.65 Cr in the same quarter last year.
The operating profit stood at INR 162.41 Cr compared to a loss of INR 117.48 Cr in the same quarter last year.
The profits have come on the back of 20% lower fuel expense even when the departures increased by 16.5% for the same quarter last year and block hours increased by 16.3%.

Very interesting analysis, Sir.
Nothing about RASK, CASK and RPKM, nothing about how the JetPrivilege sale proceeds will be accounted for, and yet a very frank admission about TDS delay penalties. Puzzling...but at the same time, it is nice to see an overall turnaround in the airline that was known for overall excellence some time back.
How much of this turnaround would you attribute to the new CEO, and his ideas, as with the return of a large number of ex-employees in the top brass?
The larger passenger numbers, better OTP, better aircraft utilisation all point to a good coherent strategy. Among the concerns, what do you see in the selling and distribution costs increasing to a staggering figure? Any particular reason?
Further, `enhanced product by competition' only points to wards Vistara, which is far from getting its act together. Air India will have a consistent product: IFE, good food and good service, but apart from perhaps more domestic widebody flights, there will be little new from them.
Thanks for another thought-provoking article, Sir!
Cheers, Sumantra. |

I think its a combination of EY + Crammer Ball who just got 9W to do the basics. Fill up planes, fly them more are basics. Yields will follow if service is good is another.
They are blessed with cheap oil - like all others and they should make the most out of this.
I wonder why key parameters were not declared this time around

Yes, because litigation against the old S2 hasn't been quashed for 9W to fully subsume operations.
However, they are being gradually phased out

DGCA declares investigation into Jet Airways' fuel uplift policy
News
24-Aug-2015 11:11 AM
India's Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) reportedly suspended two Jet Airways pilots for not following procedure as a Boeing 737-800 aircraft with 141 passengers on board made an alternative landing at Thiruvananthapuram on 18-Aug-2015 with low reserve fuel (Business Standard/PTI/financialexpress.com, 22-Aug-2015). Terming it as a “serious” incident, the DGCA has referred the matter to the Air Accident Investigation Bureau and initiated review of the fuel uplift policy of Jet Airways. Jet Airways said: "Flight 9W 555 en route from Doha to Kochi was diverted to Thiruvananthapuram as a precautionary measure, as the runway at Kochi was not visible due to the presence of low clouds. This is in line with the standard operating safety procedure.” The carrier added: “At Jet Airways, safety is of paramount importance, and to this end, planning of flight operations are conducted with a very high level of safety. This includes a fuel uplift that not only meets all regulatory requirements but also has additional buffers to cater to unexpected scenarios, including poor weather at the alternative airport.” |

Evidently they're still being used interchangeably.
A fried's recent BKK-BOM flight was operated by an S2 plane in the old livery. And apparently the disgraceful interiors matched the exterior, as was clear from the pilot's hilarious apology.
Here too, song is the best explanation:
Jet nathi toh Konnect bhee chalse
Konnect nathi nathi nathi
Toh JetLite bhee chalse!

Can anyone confirm Exit rows on Jet's 737-800 with winglets.
QF site (9W metal from BOM to SIN) shows it on Rows 19 and 20 while SeatGuru, SeatExpert & SeatMaestro shows it on Rows 17 and 18. |

Should be 19 & 20 (12J/156Y), if not 23 & 24 (again 12J/156Y)

Speaking of which, it seems Jet has renumbered the rows on ALL their B737s, other than the B73J (Boeing 737-900ER)
B73H/B738
The BOM-DEL-BOM B739
B73W/B73G

Is this to faciliate boarding or an introduction of a Y+?!
One advantage is even if there is an equipment change u would not be affected much. I have had the exp of my emergency exit seat that I selected online, become a non reclinable one due to a change in a/c type. |

| So even today many of the airlines do not want Row 13, I see it on Jet, AI and even on United. Is it that unlucky ? |

Called up Jet's Customer Care. The lady confirmed seat 19 and 20 as Emergency Exits (as shown on QF's site). These turns out to be 9th and 10th Economy rows - starting with 10 and skipping 13.
Jet's website gives 2 seat maps, more or less similar but showing exit rows as 8th and 9th Economy rows.

Row 18 (or 22 in the new seat map), or easier, the 8th row of economy is the miserable non-reclining seat on the 737-800 (as indicated by the red line on the seat back). You'd want to select the 10th row of Economy (that is row 20 or 24), because that has a lot of legroom and a reclining seat.
Cheers!
