Mumbai: Jet Airways has said it is reviewing its operations in Brussels, now “unviable due to significant changes in the competitive scenario” in Europe. Brussels is capital of Belgium, a country in western Europe.
The airline has initiated a consultative process with its 25 Belgian employees, as required under local laws, to determine the future of its operations there.
Jet is likely to make Amsterdam (Netherlands’ capital) its gateway for flights to the US and Canada, replacing Brussels. It has slots at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport and is in talks with Air France-KLM and Delta Airlines for commercial partnerships and code-sharing on European and North American routes. Code-sharing is an agreement between two or more airlines to carry each other’s passengers and use their own set of letters and numbers for flights provided by another airline.
“No decision on the Brussels operations has been taken,” a spokesperson said.
Sources said Schiphol offered better connections and network opportunities.
