The Jet-Etihad deal has not helped the employees so far in fact it may turn out contrary.

PostPosted: Mon Jul 14, 2014 10:15 am    Post subject: Additional flight between Mumbai & Colombo Reply with quote

So on 5th November 2014, Jet's introducing a new flight between Mumbai and Colombo.

They'll be using the flight numbers which used to operate the MAA-CMB-MAA sectors..
Details:

9W256 BOM 0200 CMB 0430 73H D
9W252 BOM 1805 CMB 2035 73H D ++

9W255 CMB 0530 BOM 0805 73H D
9W251 CMB 2135 BOM 0015+1 73H D ++

++ = New flight(s)

So with this new flight, 9W effectively brings back its initial timings on the CMB-BOM route (the late evening departure, discontinued in May 2013 when two separate planes started doing CMB-BOM and CMB-MAA, when it used to be MAA-CMB-BOM with the late evening departure..) and is a more conveniently timed flight from what I've heard (in my opinion, too). Obviously, who'd want to wake up at 0200 hours for the flight!

Bodes well for Jet hopefully, or maybe its an EY thing..
Either way, I see this as a response to UL's recent capacity upgrade: they've started using the A321 on this route at times...
Fares starting at INR13k for the first few dates, perhaps one of the cheapest fares I've ever seen on this route!

Regards
Jish

Jet Airways pilots raise concerns over Jet Konnect fleet transfer

Jet Airways management has held talks with the airline's B737-800 and ATR pilots regarding plans to transfer some B737-800s along with its entire ATR72-500/-600 fleet to LCC subsidiary, Jet Konnect.

As part of a restructuring program aimed at returning the carrier to profitability following a consolidated annual loss of INR41.3billion (USD689million) for the year ending March 31, 2014, Jet announced plans to enhance Jet Konnect's operations by transferring the aircraft to the latter's Air Operators Certificate in a bid to improve its domestic market share. At present, the aircraft operate under the Jet Konnect brand but are operated by Jet Airways.

However, India's Business Standard reports that Jet Airways' pilots have sought a common seniority list to ensure their career progression isn’t affected by their transfer to the LCC. The pilots, the paper said, feared they would lose the opportunity to progress to Jet's A330 and B777 fleets.

“Many first officers from Jet Airways Boeing 737 got a command on ATRs, as there was a shortage of commanders on turbo-props. They are upset about the move to transfer them to JetLite, while their juniors on Boeing 737s are being given command training on the same aircraft,” an anonymous source told the publication.

UTC Aerospace Systems Selected by Jet Airways and Jet Lite to Provide Wheels and Carbon Brakes on their Boeing 737 Next Generation Fleet

July 15, 2014

UTC Aerospace Systems has been selected by Jet Airways and Jet Lite to supply the wheels and carbon brakes for their new fleet of 50 Boeing 737-800 Next Generation aircraft. UTC Aerospace Systems, a unit of United Technologies Corp., will provide the equipment through its Landing Systems facility located in Troy, Ohio.

The 737 Next Generation carbon brakes use proprietary DURACARB® carbon heat sink material. The DURACARB® carbon provides exceptional brake performance and a 35 percent brake life advantage over competitive products.

"This selection complements the successful relationship with Jet Airways that we've enjoyed since 2004, when their current fleet of 737s entered service with our steel brakes," said Cory May, vice president, airline sales, Landing Systems. "We are pleased to provide Jet Airways with a lower total cost of ownership for their 737 Next Generation fleet."

"We enjoy industry-leading 'around-the-clock' customer and product support on our current fleets equipped with wheels and brakes from UTC Aerospace Systems," stated Dato' K. Jeyakanthan, Senior Vice President Aircraft Projects & Product (Technical), Jet Airways. "We look forward to excellent product performance and reliability in addition to realizing the benefits associated with their brake life advantage for our new 737 Next Generation fleet."

Jet Airways Looking to Sell Planes, Restructure Debts

Jet Airways Ltd said the country's No. 2 airline by market share will look at selling planes and restructuring its debts as it tries to find ways to end the losses that have plagued it for years.

"We are looking at a lot of consolidation (of our fleet)," Jet's chairman Naresh Goyal said at a press event in New Delhi on Wednesday. Mr Goyal said the carrier is talking to its bankers without giving details of the discussions.

Like all but one of India's major airlines, Jet is losing money fast, beset by high costs, low fares and cut-throat competition in its domestic market.

The airline, which has not reported an annual profit since 2007, set out a three-year restructuring plan in May centred on cutting costs and boosting efficiency. As the carrier struggles to turn around its fortunes, it also named Cramer Ball as its fourth chief executive within the space of a year, pending regulatory approvals.

Did folks watch the live broadcast of the presser earlier today - with Hogan/ Goyal + the new CEO there? It was interesting to watch - Goyal was struggling even to read out the given text in English. Hogan was pretty impressive, speaking extempore and very professionally. I think the saving grace for Goyal was that Hogan "promised" to support 9W on it's path to profitability.

Also interesting was talk of 9W starting BOM/DEL to Europe non-stops - probably next year. The goal is not exclusively to feed traffic via AUH, but also to let 9W operate it's own non-stops to key markets.

Its called competition. Indian aviation was almost controlled before where the GOI deicsion plus our airlines not being in an alliance basically only helped the ME3. With AI in Star and adding EU nonstops left and right plus Tata coming, 9W basically either starts nonstops or becomes a second rate airline. The ME3 must have done everything they could to prevent indiaan airlines growth because high yielding pax want nonstops - PERIOD. Only third rate countries feed high yield to one stop options. Add to this who really wants to connect in the middle east other than indian employess of EK, EY, OR etc. If I was EY, I would have 9W fly nonstop to key routes in EU, US, Africa and Asian pushing other city traffic, pax wanting different times and cheaper traffic into AUH. Then you really control the indian pax.

"The domestic operations will be changed in 12 months. We will remove the complexity in brand. The Boeing 737 product will have two classes," Ball said. The airline may offer increased baggage allowance to flyers.

Jet's main problem continues to be with the branding of its costliest acquisition, Air Sahara. The airline was called JetLite and then JetKonnect. With a multitude of brands, including parent Jet, flyers are not sure which airline's ticket they are buying and which brand they will travel. Often people feel they are buying full service Jet and then are asked to pay for meals as they end up on the budget arm.

Goyal has recognized this problem and now hopes to resolve it. The airline's aim now is to "re-energize and re-establish Jet as India's leading airline."

Caliguy - but would you have "9W fly nonstop to key routes in EU, US, Africa and Asian " from BOM or DEL or BLR or HYD or all of these? If it has to be one-stop, then AUH is not a bad option, especially given fuel is probably 30-40% cheaper there than India!

Funnily enough, the removal of the Konnekt or Lite or any such moniker might in itself lead to further confusion at least in the short term; thing will get worse before they get better.

Video of the joint press conference.

-> Non-stops to KUL/RGN/SEZ by 2015.
-> AMD/PNQ/GOI/LKO - AUH by Nov.
-> Currently sell 312 combos via AUH, number to go upto 1800 by 2016.
-> Inflight product commonality.
-> Primary focus on developing BOM/DEL hubs, along with the AUH hub.
-> Expect more EU non-stops, plus flights to China / Australasia.


but 3 of the biggest highlights were
1) The CEO spoke! Cramer Ball. When was the last time we heard a 9W CEO speak?

2) Cramer Ball - "This may surprise many of you, but overall, after all the restructuring done, our international operations are profitable" ; and mind you he also said that domestic operations haemorrhage cash and there is a lot of brand confusion in the market.

3) Counting from June 2014 alone, transit traffic on the 9W domestic-intl network has doubled, codeshare traffic has doubled, so impact of common contracts, FFP-Integration very visible.

Would you really? If 9W was 100% EY them maybe, but EY only holds 1/4th.
A few European destinations warrant a non stop but if I were EY id route ALL their USA flights thru AUH and most westward connections barring a few high yielding India-EU/Africa destinations. It's not ideal though.

Well - why does EY/ 9W think KUL will work this time around, especially given all the additional competition now?

RGN - I think will be good to feed traffic from Myanmar "to the world".
SEZ - not clear...

me111993 wrote:
-> AMD/PNQ/GOI/LKO - AUH by Nov.

All very logical - ultimately this is the least 9W should do ASAP. Feed into the AUH hub in a big big way.

me111993 wrote:

I can certainly see that - given that 9W is not yet selling even BLR-AUH-SFO on EY as yet. So there's plenty of upside in this area.

me111993 wrote:

Least important IMO - just need to make sure there are "good" inflight standards on 9W.

me111993 wrote:

I'm all with the AUH hub, but I'll believe BOM/DEL as true hubs when I see it. Sure - they might feed the one or two flights to Europe or NYC, but don't expect too much growth at BOM/ DEL of hub nature. Pure O&D ex BOM/DEL - sure.

me111993 wrote:

Will wait and watch - not to forget the flights have to sustain.

They should forget about DEL (leave it as an O & D with some incidental connecting traffic) and concentrate on BOM as a hub. They have decent number of flights at BOM anyway, why not leverage it to the max. AI has already made DEL as the hub and have joined an alliance.

What they need to do is to work with the airport operator, GVK and get domestic-intl transit worked out without a bus (something like a people mover or a inter-terminal train) or better yet, move all domestic ops to the new terminal. Also add in a domestic re-checkin facility as soon as leave the customs area.

That would be logical and great. I'm guessing there's already be a plan to move all 9W ops over to the new terminal - just don't know when.

nimish, regarding SFO, they cant sell through EY as no new codeshares can be added till the FAA upgrade comes

Jet Airways said to overhaul first class with finer wine, bigger TVs
Jul 25 2014

Jet Airways India Ltd. is preparing to redesign its first- and business-class cabins to compete with Emirates Airline and Singapore Airlines Ltd., people familiar with the plans said.

The Indian airline is working with Boeing Co. to introduce roomier seats, equipped with larger in-flight entertainment systems, according to the people, who asked not to be identified because the plans are private. The company, 24% owned by Etihad Airways PJSC, also plans to upgrade the in-flight menu and wine selection, the people said.

Jet Air’s cabin changes will focus on its 10 existing Boeing 777s and future 787 Dreamliners, the first of which are expected to be delivered in 2017, the people said.

The airline plans to retire its 12 Airbus Group NV A330s after the Dreamliners arrive, one of the people said.

In addition to the changes to the cabin seats, Jet plans to lease Airbus A380s from Etihad, once the Abu Dhabi-based airline starts receiving the superjumbo jets, one person said.

A code share is not needed to sell through from what I know - 9W can sell a 9W/ EY itinerary.

Caliguy - but would you have "9W fly nonstop to key routes in EU, US, Africa and Asian " from BOM or DEL or BLR or HYD or all of these? If it has to be one-stop, then AUH is not a bad option, especially given fuel is probably 30-40% cheaper there than India!


No from their hub in BOM (or what ever hub city they feel is most profitable). They can do one off flights from other cities where needed (because demand is yield demands it). A AUH hub makes Jet like any foreign airline. A true Indian hub PLUS AUH gives Jet a great advantage. Its basically what US airlines have - they have their US hubs and their main EU partner hub.

Breaking: Jet Airways redemption award chart gutting without any notice!

The ball has dropped. This is unofficial but a developing story. Okay, enough for the sensationalism. This morning, I was playing around with the Jet Airways website, trying to tuck in a redemption or few. I hadn’t gotten in on their up to 50% off sale fare, so I wanted to make some redemptions to go places.

I noticed that there are changes in the award chart. Get some water, gulp it down, and then lets go over the changes till the end.

Domestic Redemptions: Between –30 to +20% miles in most cases from October 2014

Here is a link to the old redemption chart. While I did not manage to compare all sectors, I do notice a trend, that redemptions are usually about 20%-30% cheaper in terms of miles as compared to the earlier rate, and in some cases, 20% more expensive. I can live with that I’d say. Here are some sectors for comparison sake. Although I invite you to add your observations in the comments section as well about sectors you see going up or down.


Now, get a shot of tequila before you read this

International Redemptions: Getting gutted to the core with 60% more miles required!

International redemptions have not been Jet Airways’ sweet spot for the longest time. They price your redemptions on a per flight basis, add huge fuel surcharges, sometimes good enough for the price of a new economy ticket itself, and then want to take away your miles as well as lots of money from you for travelling on their own metal! And now, they are treading a line which is not even funny. As I see the redemptions for August 1, 2014 I see a new redemption rate for most international sectors, and this has not gone down but up in case of all mid-long haul flights.



And you can’t even catch the bus anymore. This morning, the new rates have been loaded in the online booking system, and if you have not booked your award ticket so far, you can’t get in on the old rates anymore. Errata. BOM-EWR is 150000 and I will update the excel later again (I deleted the draft!)

Eh, I don’t appreciate these changes from Jet Airways at all. But what I don’t appreciate even more, is the lack of notice. People work to accumulate miles towards their aspirational vacations. In this case, with the stroke of a mouse, someone has moved the goalpost much much ahead. This is a loss of credibility in the airline business, very much so.

The right way to make any changes is to give people notice that changes will come ahead, and give them a few days or weeks to redeem at the old pricing before sneaking these changes in. THIS IS JUST NOT DONE.


Well - this is "bijnes" as usual for lalaji and co - hopeless!

Their domestic redemptions looks even more attractive than they already were, however like the blogger mentions, they should have given a notice period

The international redemptions seem to have come in line with EY, atleast for the long haul sector, for short haul sector its far better to redeem on EY ,

BOM-AUH on EY is 12k one way as oppose to Jets 30K

Glad that the domestic redemptions have gone down - I wonder if it's a pointer to lower earnings?

Why is EY vs. 9W so different on the BOM-AUH sectors? Makes no sense!

Jet Airways pilots protest against decision over shifting to JetLite

July 30, 2014

Massive unrest in Jet Airways has erupted as over 200 pilots are protesting against the management plan of shifting them to JetLite, a sister company struggling hard to survive in the industry.

Pilots and crew of 18 ATR flights have already expressed their agitation as the decision is likely to affect their career as well as their job security.

Pilots say, "if they are shifted to JetLite, they will lose not only seniority but also pay and perks."

Jet Airways is considering shifting its entire ATR fleet, along with a few Boeing 737s, to JetLite to strengthen the subsidiary’s operations and enable it to compete with rivals.

On whether restructuring of Jet fleet was also on the anvil and would its ATR turboprop fleet be transferred to its low-cost subsidiary JetLite, Jet Chairman Naresh Goyal said, "We are looking at it. We may sell our surplus aircraft or return them to lessors. We finding out what is the most economical way to go forward. We will be announcing all this soon."

The sister company is not struggling hard, if insiders are to be believed, it is the sister company which makes money - with most lucrative and mostly monopoly or duopoly routes including that to rajkot from Mumbai

Breaking on Twitter from ET Now - Jet Airways looking to restructure, and sell JetLite...

I wonder who'd want to buy JetLite/ Sahara? And wasn't JetLite reasonably integrated into Jet Airways already - in terms of fleet and crew?

May be VJM again Laughing or Capt Gopinath Cool

Jet is trying to shrink to profitability. And they have little choice, competition has intensified with Air Asia India and even more with the new Tata airline.

Media Statement: Jet Airways would like to clarify that the story on Jet Airways selling JetLite is incorrect, and purely speculative.
