Jet Airways likely to expand international operations

New Delhi: With Kingfisher's international operations suspended and Air India's long-haul services likely to be subject to ongoing industrial action, Jet Airways is expected to seize the opportunity and aggressively expand its international operations, aviation think-tank Centre For Asia Pacific Aviation has said.
“In addition to increasing frequencies to existing destinations in the Gulf and Southeast Asia, the other new routes under evaluation include Beijing, Ho Chi Minh City, Shanghai, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Munich, Paris and Rome (with Frankfurt and Munich being the priority destinations, expected to commence from the Winter 2012/13 schedule), Chicago, San Francisco and Washington,” the study adds.
The study also hints at Jet Airways becoming the first Indian carrier to join a global airline alliance, Star Alliance. The ongoing troubles in Air India may force the Government to do a rethink on whether Jet Airways should be permitted to join Star Alliance or not.
