NEWs| Jet Airways is getting into hospitality

Jet Airways is getting into hospitality venture. Naresh Goyal-owned airline has acquired 15 acres near the Brussels airport in Belgium. The airline said this 500-room five-star deluxe hotel would mainly target Jet passengers who transit through its base in Brussels and the airline crew. It would also have a catering kitchen to serve all Jet flights originating from Belgium and London.

"We are going to tie up with a leading foreign chain of hotels for this project though the hotel will reflect our culture. It will go in direction of achieving our dream of establishing Jet as a truly Indian brand abroad,'' said an official.

Incidentally, Oberoi Hotel chairman PRS Oberoi is on Jet's board of directors and the airline is likely to use his experience for this project. To cater to its Indian clientele, the airline is planning to have ethnic dishes on its menu and a dedicated restaurant is also being considered.

The Belgium government is supporting Jet's move to build the hotel.

Chidambaram inaugurates Jet Airways hub in Brussels

Finance Minister P Chidambaram, inaugurated the exclusive Jet Airways international hub at the Brussels airport on Monday, making Jet Airways the first Indian airline to have full scale operations outside India.

Jet Airways recently launched international flights out of Delhi and Mumbai to destinations in North America. All its international flights fly through Brussels.
The hub is the only of its kind at the Brussels airport, which is Europe's sixth largest. It is self-sufficient and exclusive to Jet Airways with exclusive security channels for its passengers, exclusive shopping arcade, lounges and restaurants serving Jet passengers, Naresh Goyal, the chairman of Jet Airways said.

In the beginning Jet Airways will operate 10 daily flights from the Brussels hub, connecting Indian cities to places in USA and Canada. But the airline expects to expand and operate up to 35 flights ex-Brussels in future connecting India to European and African destinations.

Goyal also said that his airline was negotiating agreements to operate flights from Brussels to Shanghai, Dhaka and Colombo.

News: Jet Airways planning Bahrain flights

India' largest private airline, Jet Airways, is planning to fly to Bahrain from early next year, it emerged yesterday.

The carrier has applied for Indian government permission to fly to the "lucrative" Gulf routes, including Bahrain, but would not actually start operations before January next year, sources told the GDN.

"It is a positive development in case the go-ahead is given to us," said Jet Airways Dubai-based Gulf regional manager Shakir Kantawala.

"We have not heard anything concrete yet, but are hoping for a favourable development," he said. Mr Kantawala said that the Gulf was a lucrative route to operate to, with Bahrain and the UAE "growing tremendously".

"In addition, Qatar is poised for rapid and dramatic growth. In all this, we would fit in perfectly," he said.

Sources told the GDN that Jet had applied for flights to six Gulf destinations from next year.

News: Jet eyes daily Doha-Kozhikode and Doha-Mumbai flights

Jet Airways, is likely to have daily services from Doha to Mumbai and Kozhikode, when operations start next January.

Sources in Doha said the general sales agent, Cleopatra Travels, was “trying to have daily operations” though no final decision had been taken.

India’s civil aviation ministry on Friday decided to grant traffic rights to Jet Airways on the India-Gulf/Middle East routes with effect from January 1.

Indian expatriates welcomed the decision. They feel a choice of carriers will at least improve the services, if not bring down the high fares in the sector. Although Qatar-India fares are regulated by the civil aviation authorities in this country, expatriates are hoping that fares would soon be determined by market conditions, as they are in many countries including the UAE.

According to the New Delhi decision, Jet can offer 2,100 seats to Qatar a week - 1,050 on the Mumbai-Doha route and 1,050 on the Kozhikode-Doha sector.

Jet could make a bigger impact in the Kozhikode sector, because the average daily quota of 150 seats is double the current availability.

Currently only state-owned carrier Indian offers a non-stop service to Kozhikode from Doha.

Jet Airairways to Fly UAE, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain Soon

The lucrative Gulf routes will no longer be the sole domain of public carriers Indian and Air India.
Jet Airways and its subsidiary Jetlite could be the first private Indian airlines given permission to fly there.Civil Aviation Ministry sources tell CNN-IBN Jet could soon fly to Dubai, Abu Dabhi, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain.

Permissions are likely in a few weeks. But flights cannot start before January, when the government ban on private sector flights to the Gulf is lifted.

The ban dates back to 2004 when private airlines were allowed to fly abroad but kept out of this revenue-generating route

Currently both public carriers together can operate about 85,400 seats weekly to the Gulf. But they are able to utilise just half this number, mostly due to the shortage of aircraft.

Jet is getting ready to fly to West Asia

Jet Airways (India) Ltd, has applied to the government for permission to fly West Asia routes from India, ahead of the year-end expiry of a monopoly that state-owned carriers Air India Ltd and Indian Airlines Ltd have been guaranteed on the lucrative sector, its chairman has said.

“We have applied to the civil aviation ministry to fly to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Muscat, Doha and Kuwait and are hoping to get a favourable response as per the policy,” Naresh Goyal, who chairs the board of the Mumbai-based aviation firm, said in an interview on Tuesday.

Goyal’s continued focus on international expansion comes at a time when foreign carriers such as Deutsche Lufthansa AG, Etihad and British Airways Plc. are increasing the frequency of flights to and from India; they are being, matched in part by Air India. (On Tuesday, Jet announced new flights to Toronto from Delhi via Brussels.)

West Asian routes, despite intense price competition, have been a cash cow for India’s state-run airlines in the last three years, during which no other Indian carrier could fly there.

Jet to 'cooperate' with Air India for market share

Jet Airways will "cooperate" with Air India to capture a larger share of international air traffic as it does with other global carriers, the company's chairman Naresh Goyal said in New Delhi on Tuesday.

"Air India is doing a great job. It will be a very good airline," Goyal said as he announced the launch of his carrier's new five-flights-a-week service to Toronto via Brussels from Wednesday.

"If we cooperate with Air India, the new Air India, we definitely can get a 50 per cent market share. We look forward to cooperating with Air India," he added, as Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel, listened with attention.

Air India has plans to become a large carrier with a dominant position in both the domestic and international segments after the merger with Indian Airlines that has the government's approval.

Goyal said Brussels will be the hub for his carrier in Europe and eventually proposed to serve at least 50 destinations either on its own or through partnerships with other carriers.

Jet fights to shape up JetLite

Jet Airways is facing a tough time to turn around Air Sahara, after acquiring it for $340 million around three months back.

While a part of the difficulties lies in the poor condition of Air Sahara’s fleet, a different work culture of Sahara employees is only adding to the problems, according to Garry Kingshott, CEO of JetLite (new name of Air Sahara).

For Kingshott, the primary focus is on issues like revamping the condition of poorly kept fleet and jets grounded for years and make employees fit into Jet Airways’ vision of a professionally-managed airline.

To deal with all these and put the airline back on track, the Australian CEO has charted out a turnaround roadmap and started working towards this goal. To start with, JetLite has retained only 2,300 of Air Sahara’s 4,100 employees who it felt could fit into Jet’s vision of ontime passenger-friendly performance.

Then, it is also going to lease up to 15 planes till 2009, before deliveries of the previously ordered 10 Boeing 737s begin.

Sahara had a fleet of 24 leased aircraft, 17 Boeing 737s and seven Canadian Regional Jets (CRJs). ‘‘When Jet acquired the airline, only 10 737s and two CRJs were flying. Obviously the fleet was not in a terrific condition. ..Today 15 Boeings and three CRJs are flying. By October-end, we expect a majority of the fleet back in air,’’ Kingshott said.

Pilots now have to report an hour before departure time instead of earlier 45 minutes.
