I've just checked Galileo:

no flights BRU-BOM-BRU before 16th Sept 2006

(schedule after 17th Sept 2006 is "outside system range" as per today)

It was expected.

I think they want to wait if they can operate the whole route, meaning BOM-BRU-EWR and not starting with one section.

It's pity but I had predict it. But we have Etihad for this year. Maybe new long haul for next year.

Today confirmed at Brussels Airport Travel Day (a fair for the travel industry organised by BIAC) by Jet Airways representative that they will start flights to Brussels as from April next year.

Wait and see. At this time I can't count anymore how many times they have posponed their first flight.

Jet Airways Cargo seems to be operational in the USA.

Although I'm wondering which connections they're offering to their clients, a transfer in LHR maybe?
May we conclude that their problems in the States are solved?
Do we only have to wait for the delivery of new airplanes to 9W before they could start up flights to EWR? Does someone know when they expect their A332's, as there is already one who received the 9W colorscheme. Maybe one of them can free up an A340, which is now dedicated to the India-UK market, to fly the USA route.

The latest I have heard was that they could start operations via BRU by the end of 2006 or begin 2007.

Meanwhile Jet Airways is looking for employees at BRU airport.

PS: Jet Airways is considering to start up a cargo devision. You can compare it with Etihad and Etihad Crystal cargo. But at the moment only for cargo flights within India.

Their first A332 is almost ready

Last September, Jet Airways ordered some A330's and B777.

According to Jet Airways and Boeing, Jet Airways will use the B777 for the routes to the UK, Europe and the US.

So, could we expect the 777 instead of the A340 at BRU?

I would already be glad the day we see them regardless the aircraft type

When will these be delivered though?

I think we are much more likely to see the A330 first no? Sure the bigger planes can be used much more efficiently elsewhere no? Who knows if they ever come and the route turns to be massively successful, then only maybe could we expected these bigger passenger birds!

Does anyone know why there's a Jet Airways B737 in the LH Technik hangar in SXF?

The new A332 of Jet Airways will made it's first flight on 13 June to LHR. They will use the aircraft three times a week on this route and the A340 four times.

No news when the other A330's will be delivered and which destinations they will fly.

JetAirways has been in the news recently in India for launching the web based kiosk. It was here on the launch, that going to Brussels was updated once again.

I guess we must wait and watch again.

The first A330-243 is registered as VT-JWD

Jet Airways may buy Boeing 747-8s; US flights likely by year-end and 9W feels Airbus A380 will be too big for its needs

Jet Airways is considering the option of acquiring Boeing 747-8 and 787s for its long-haul flights. Jet Airways hopes to launch flights to US by the end of the year.

Naresh Goyal, Chairman, Jet Airways said, " We are talking to Boeing about the 747-8 for on our long-haul network." Although they considered Airbus 380 for the same, they think the A380 is a bit too big for their current needs.

"We are also talking to Boeing about the 787," adds Goyal. The Airbus 380 can seat 550 passengers, while the Boeing 747-8 can carry 450. At the Asian Aerospace Show in Singapore in February, Boeing had said that it was in talks with Indian carriers like Jet Airways and Indian Airlines about the 747-8. They did not disclose the number of planes being discussed.

As of now, Jet Airways for London- Heathrow, Jet Airways operates three A340-300s twice daily.

Speaking about the delay in approval of services to US, Naresh Goyal said, "The US government has sent some questions to the Indian government which it is answering. We should be able to launch flights by the end of the year if we can get aircraft, if not it will be next year."

Jet Airways first US flights will be to Newark, through Brussels. Jet Airways is also planning a Chicago service. Jet's fleet contains a bunch of Boeing 737s. Jet is also planning to introduce some new A340s and A330s to its stable.

The other long-haul services that Jet is planning to operate are Hong Kong, Rome, Milan and Zurich. They are also planning to operate to Kenya and South Africa.
