Jet Airways hopeful of wider collaboration with MAS

Sepang: Jet Airways (India) Ltd hopes a wider collaboration with national carrier Malaysian Airline System Bhd (MAS) will materialise by the middle of next year.
“We may have something on with MAS by mid-2008,” Jet Airways country manager for Malaysia Kavin Martinus told The Edge Financial Daily after the Indian airline launched its widebody A330-200s aircraft for its Kuala Lumpur-Chennai route here last Saturday.
“Code-sharing is something we would like to do with MAS, if they agree we could possibly look at it for Mumbai flights. The idea here is synergy, so if we can code-share on their Mumbai flights, then they can code-share with our Chennai flights,” Martinus said.
“We’re talking about a wider co-operation with MAS, which may involve code-sharing and many other areas including marketing. We are in active discussions with MAS,” said Jet Airways regional vice president for Southeast Asia Gerry Oh.
It was reported that the two airlines had scheduled discussions in January 2007 concerning a code-sharing arrangement for flights between Malaysia and India.
