Planning to lease one more plane to Etihad, says Jet

November 10, 2014

Jet Airways today said it is likely to lease one more Boeing 777-300 ER to its equity partner Etihad.

Etihad Airways, which holds 24 per cent stake in the Naresh Goyal-led carrier, has already taken on lease six planes from Jet Airways.

"We may lease one more Boeing 777 aircraft to Etihad on a short-term basis," Jet Airways Vice-president for Aeropolitical, Government and International Affairs Gautam Acharya said during a post-earnings analysts call here.

The airline has leased out altogether nine aircraft to Etihad and Turkish Airlines, he said, adding, "Four Boeing 777-300ERs and two A330s are leased to Etihad, while three Boeing 777-300ERs are with Turkish Airlines."

Etihad had recently said it was planning to take some more planes from Jet. "We are finalising plans to introduce two aircraft before the end of the year," Etihad had said.

One of the three aircraft leased to Turkish Airlines is coming back, and which may go to Etihad on lease, Acharya said.

Not sure if this has been discussed before: VT-JLJ has been transferred to the Jet Airways fleet and now flies some pretty important 9W routes. Here she is before her flight to DMM. She'd later return to BOM and then head off to IXB via CCU as 9W615.

Jet Airways cuts domestic capacity to feed Etihad

Nov 26, 2014

Jet Airways is shifting focus away from the domestic market by pulling out capacity from local routes and deploying more flights to international destinations in what looks like a strategy to feed the network of Etihad, the UAE carrier that owns 24% of the Indian airline.

Government and industry data on daily available seat kilometres ( ASKs) — measure of passenger carrying capacity — show that Naresh Goyal-promoted Jet Airways and unit JetLite have cut down on capacity over the past few months in the domestic sector.

While Jet Airways and JetLite have been reducing capacity on local routes since June and April, respectively, Jet Airways has added capacity in the international sector by 16% between April and August this year — international ASK data are available only until August.

Jet Airways considering turning Bangkok into a mini-hub
News
26-Nov-2014 10:16 AM
Jet Airways CEO and VP Southeast Asia and Australasia Wallop Bhukkanasut said the carrier is considering turning Bangkok into a mini-hub to extend its network to East Asia (Bangkok Post, 25-Nov-2014). Mr Wallop said the carrier plans to take advantage of the fifth and sixth traffic rights already in place between Thailand and India, adding: "That's the way to go, and we should see something happening over the next two years... We need to get in before all the flight slots are taken by others." He also said the airline was looking at expanding its European network. As previously reported by CAPA, the carrier plans to launch daily service between Delhi and Ho Chi Minh City via Bangkok effective 05-Nov-2014, as it expands its global travel footprint in the ASEAN region.

Is VT-JEP on its way back from TK right now?

I wonder what they'll be doing with VT-JGJ.
Initially joined Jet as a Y175 configured plane (leased from GECAS) back in 2005, got converted to C8Y162 when Jet entered its Konnect mess.
To further add to it, she's now in a full JetKonnect livery! Shocked

At 13.1 years old, JGJ is more than double the average fleet age of Jet Airways!

Will they be returning it? Or wasting money (AGAIN!) to paint it back to the Jet colors? Also, if Jet's new C12Y156 reconfiguration is to be followed (its happening at a fast rate!), there will be more money gone.....

Jish

Jet Airways Shelves Plan to Transfer ATR Turboprop Fleet to Subsidiary

December 07, 2014

Jet Airways is believed to have shelved a plan to transfer its ATR turboprop aircraft fleet to the subsidiary JetLite for now, owing to the regulatory complexities and costs issues.

Jet currently has 18 ATRs in its fleet, which cater to the airline's regional routes, while JetLite has a total fleet of 11 Boeing 737 planes.

"Jet Airways had plans to transfer its entire fleet of ATR aircraft to its subsidiary airline JetLite. This was part of the airline's overall profitability plan. However, after toying with the idea for quite some time, it has dropped the plan due to technical reasons and cost issues," an airline source told PTI.

"At Jet Airways we continually evaluate our fleet vis-a-vis planned deployment across our operational network, with a sharp focus on profitability. Our ATR fleet is also part of this evaluation and we will be in a position to share the details once we arrive at any decision," a Jet Airways spokesperson said in response to a text message by PTI.

"In this case, all the 18 aircraft would have to be deregistered first and sent out to the lessor and then registered again. Besides, the process also involves huge costs. Therefore, the airline has at this stage decided to not to go ahead with the plan," the source said.

^^ Good move and seems clearly designed to offset AI's 787s on the domestic routes. That being said the DEL-BLR flights chosen don't seem to be the prime time routes.

Jet Airways Rolls Out New Online Meal Booking Service

December 23, 2014

Jet Airways on Tuesday rolled out a new online meal booking service for its first class and premier customers, besides enhancing on-board entertainment services amid a lurking competition from the soon-to-be-launched full service airline Vistara.

The new service - 'Book My Meal', which is available on all of Jet Airways international flights, offers passengers a wide variety of meal options both in vegetarian and non-vegetarian categories, the carrier said in a release.

The service allows passengers to book meals 48 hours to 60 days in advance prior to their departure, it said.

"We believe offering the opportunity to make dining choices before the flight will be very popular," Jet Airways senior vice president for commercial Gaurang Shetty said.

Jet Airways will also screen CinePlay shows produced in Hindi with English subtitles, founded by Subodh Maskara and creatively mentored by Nandita Das, on some of its flights in the coming months, it said.

Jet also said that these shows are cinematic renditions of vast and content-rich stories from Indian theatre.

~ “CinePlay” – classic Indian theatre shows – to be screened in-flight
MUMBAI, December 22, 2014:

Jet Airways, India’s premier international airline, has introduced a new online meal booking program for First Class and Premiere guests.

The “Book your meal” initiative is now available on all Jet Airways’ international flights, allowing guests to pre-order meals online at jetairways.com. It is a key feature in the airline’s growing commitment to enhance the in-flight guest experience.

In addition, Jet Airways is boosting the in-flight entertainment experience for guests in all cabins and on all flights through the launch of a series of theatre shows by “CinePlay”.

Founded by Subodh Maskara, and creatively mentored by Nandita Das, CinePlay shows are cinematic renditions of vast and content-rich stories from Indian theatre.

Produced in Hindi with English subtitles, the productions will be screened over several Jet Airways in-flight entertainment cycles during the coming months.

Mohan Rakesh’s Adhe Adhure and Nandita Das and Divya Jagdale’s Between the Lines will be available to Jet Airways guests exclusively on the in-flight entertainment system.

Gaurang Shetty, Jet Airways’ Senior Vice President Commercial, said: Jet Airways has always tried to look at ways that we can enhance our guests’ travel experience and we believe offering the opportunity to make dining choices before the flight will be very popular.

Mr Shetty added: “As India’s premiere international airline, Jet Airways has always been a proud ambassador for Indian culture and the screening of CinePlay shows in-flight is another opportunity for the airline to show the world how rich this culture is as well as giving our Indian guests access to popular in-flight entertainment.”

Notes: The “Book Your Meal” initiative allows guests to book meals 48 hours to 60 days in advance of departure.

I got an email from Jet telling me about a sale going on for flights/itineraries ex-CMB, giving us 10% off.

I just booked a CMB-BOM-BOM for a fare which is unbelievably cheap, 50% of what the fares usually are!

Although its annoying that on booking it is mandatory to select a meal, or else they won't you proceed with booking, ugh.
Other than that, a very straightforward process, no getting stuck situations or anything, AND I got to select my seats for the flights Smile

In this sector there are no friends only hidden competition.

9w seems to be trying to pick maximum at cheap rates.
