JetLite to bridge the Gulf

JetLite is looking to expand on international routes even as it struggles to add capacity on the domestic front. The low-cost airline, which Jet Airways acquired from Air Sahara earlier this year, has applied for necessary approvals to begin flying on the Gulf sector.
"We have already applied for permission to fly Gulf routes which we want to start by first quarter of next year. We would like to begin services to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Muscat, Bahrain, Qatar and Doha," JetLite CEO Garry Kingshot said on Friday.
Till now, Air India Express - the low-cost airline from the state carrier - is the only prominent service available to Indians flying to the Gulf region. But while JetLite is looking forward to flying to the Gulf, it has closed two routes in South East Asia - Singapore and Male - because of non-viability.
