In a bid to expand its commercial co-operation with the European airline network, Jet Airways is negotiating a joint venture (JV) agreement with Air France-KLM. Jet Airways, which is co-owned by Etihad Airways, is currently not a member of any aviation alliance but it has code share agreements with several airlines, including Air France-KLM.
If the deal fructifies, it would be Jet Airways’ first large-scale commercial agreement outside of Etihad and Etihad-owned airlines. Etihad also has strong commercial and technical support agreements with Air France-KLM.
Jet Airways is India’s premier international airline operating flights to 73 destinations, including 51 in India and 22 across the world. Jet Airways’ robust domestic network in India spans the length and breadth of the country covering metro cities, state capitals and emerging destinations.
