Jet fuels up Sahara with funds for Act II

Jet Airways, trying hard to digest the acquisition of Air Sahara in its fold, has been beset with problems related to staff morale, but has moved fast to address the concerns of the most vital part of its ambitious gambit - the passengers.
It says operations have improved since the takeover and the scenario will improve in the coming days. To improve Air Sahara’s operations, Jet has directed its staff to address passenger inconvenience and has been transferring Air Sahara passengers to its own flights to make amends for flight disruptions.
It has also provided significant financial and technical manpower support to Air Sahara’s engineering set-up to improve reliability to operate a schedule that customers can rely on, Jet's executive director Saroj Datta told Hindustan Times.
Air Sahara was renamed Jet Lite earlier this month after Jet closed the acquisition stalled for long due to valuation issues.
Refuting reports that Air Sahara’s operations have been adversely affected because of employees fearing adverse fallouts from the takeover, Datta said, "The airport staff of the two airlines are co-operating fully and Jet Airways staff are providing all support necessary to assist and take care of Air Sahara passengers in the event of any delay or disruption of its flights."
