I have it on good 'authority' (from a man down the pub ) that Jet AIrways will commence A340 operations from Mumbai and Chennai to New York via Brussels in 2005 (not sure of the month yet). Hopefully I can find out more next week in Johannesburg as that is where their 3 A340's are currently being prepared.
actually twice a week, they will have 3 brand new A340's, one will fly India-UK 3 times a week, 1 will fly India - South Africa twice a week and 1 to NYC twice a week,
don't believe all you read on Airliners.net !!!! VERY HIGH sources in JNB have comfirmed what I posted and as it's their aircraft being used and they are responsible for maintenance in NYC I think they would be the first to know what is what and when is when............
Assuming 9W recieves the 3 A343s from SAA, it should be able to manage a daily BOM-LHR service with one of them (or two if necessary) and use one on the BOM-BRU-NYC sector, since they only have a 3x authority on the route.
Hopefully 9W updates their site (www.jetairways.com) soon with the schedules of the
BOM-SIN
MAA-KUL
BOM-LHR
sectors soon as they are due to start in April[/url]
I think now action can be expected because Naresh Goyal has now been elected to the international community. A first for a private airline Another first for India.
