"In response to popular demand, Jet Airways is relaunching its service out of New York's Newark-Liberty International Airport on the B777-300ER aircrafts. The flights will travel to Mumbai through the Jet Airways hub in Brussels.
There will be additional seat capacity in economy, Business and First Class on this new aircraft. Private suites have also been reintroduced.
A smaller aircraft, the A330-200, will operate daily service from New York's JFK International Airport to Delhi and Chennai, via Brussels." |

So it's good to see that 9W is offering their F product again. When they converted BRU to all 332 ops, they had to do away with the First Class Lounges. I guess they'll have to reintroduce them now?

Does 9W already code share with UA?
Generally UA prefers to send pax via LH/FRA or MUC simply because they have a revenue sharing type of agreement in place.

9W has an interline with AA which feeds using their existing ORD-BRU. Indeed when AA upguaged this sector to a 777 from a 767, a reason stated on a.net was the Jet Feed. 9W however doesnt codeshare on this flight (AA OTOH does code share on 9W ex Brussels)
Also the Proposed UA flight from ORD reaches with too short a connection window (920 AM in Brussels) while the 9W departures to India leave at 9:50-10:05 |

AA have been flying the route for a while, and there's an existing codeshare between Jet / American for transferring passengers between America and India through Brussels.
One has long been able to fly, for example, BOM-BRU-ORD, on either an American or a Jet ticket - with BOM-BRU on Jet metal and BRU-ORD on AA metal.
So I don't see UA's flight having much impact on Jet or Jet's passengers. In any event, Jet don't really have much of a relationship with UA, besides the FFP. That died before it could really start with the SFO flight's end.

| The UA flight on ORD-BRU sector is competition to Jet/AA alliance on the ORD-BRU-India routing. |

Brilliant ! The EU treaty was ratified a couple of days back, BRU is the designated seat of the EU parliament and seat of power.
9W should leverage this major development. The BRU hub could well turn out to be a major strategical move on the part of 9W if consolidated well into their network.
Major financial and political centres in Americas and Africa can be connected via BRUs.
IAD-BRU-DEL/BOM
LAX-BRU-BOM
YUL-BRU-DEL/BOM
GRU-BRU-DEL/BOM
Hope the EU treaty and BRU has not been already mentioned here before. |
