Mumbai: Jet Airways, India's largest private carrier, has increased its yields by 20% during the first 14 days of November as against the same period in October as mass cancellation of flights by rival Kingfisher Airlines pushed up air fares, its chief operating officer Sudheer Raghavan said on a conference call with aviation analysts on Monday.
"We feel that there will not be any undue pressure on the yields in the coming months," he said. Airlines have been facing severe pressure on their yields - average revenue per mile per paying passenger - due to rising jet fuel prices and economic uncertainties.
Jet Airways has reported a record loss of Rs 714 crore during the second quarter. The airline is renegotiating aircraft leasing agreements and reviewing IT costs which could lead to rationalisation of manpower and better utilisation of aircraft, Raghavan said.
