Vancouver: Having received the required government clearances for 'JetLite' or the erstwhile Air Sahara, Jet Airways is open to the idea of operating its low-cost arm on international sectors in the future.
"We are studying that aspect.... (and) keeping our minds open. At the moment, JetLite will operate on domestic sectors," Jet Airways chief Naresh Goyal said in an interview on the sidelines of the annual meeting of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) here.
He said if low-cost airlines from the Gulf and Southeast Asia are allowed to operate in India, "we can ask the government" whether JetLite could fly abroad.
However, "at the moment our priority is to see that JetLite breaks even first", he said.
Claiming that the financial results of the new carrier "are already better", Goyal said, "We will definitely break even by next year".
