Jet plans to move US administrative base to San Francisco

Mumbai: Private carrier Jet Airways (India) Ltd is planning to shift its US administrative office from New York to San Francisco even as it plans to start services to San Francisco via Shanghai from Mumbai in the next three months and rival Kingfisher Airlines Ltd begins groundwork to start non-stop operations to San Francisco by mid-2008.
Jet Airways currently operates daily flights to New York from Mumbai and Delhi via Brussels.
The overseas administrative offices of an airline co-ordinates various functions such as marketing, sales and accounting.
“Our New York office would remain there. But some of the key administrative and account staff will shift to a new San Francisco office, which will be finalized in two months,” said a senior Jet Airways executive, who did not want to be identified.
The idea is to have a better administrative control as the airline plans to launch its Mumbai-San Francisco flight, added the executive.
