Jet rules out fare war on US flight

New York: Private Indian carrier Jet Airways, which begins its US operations next month, has ruled out entering into a price war with other airlines and expects to attract passengers by offering top-class services.
"We are not here to get into fare wars. We are here to give you the best product, which hopefully no other airline gives you," chairman Jet Airways Naresh Goyal said in an interview posted on the website of Forbes magazine.
Goyal said American passenger-airlines "dump people" from one point to another. But "With us, you get a hot meal within a half-hour of takeoff. It's a three-course meal in every section of the airplane - even in coach," he said.
Asked by the interviewer how would be airline offer best quality service without raising fares, he said the carrier would increase productivity.
Jet makes its maiden US flight to Newark airport from Mumbai next month. This will be followed by Toronto on September 5 as part of efforts to tap the 800,000 Indians living in Canada, he said.
