Jet Airways is likely to purchase more single-aisle aircrafts from Boeing, as the operator is looking to operate code-share flights with Etihad Airways connecting as many as 23 domestic destinations with Abu Dhabi by 2016. The entity has taken this decision considering that single-aisle planes are more economical and are good for feeder/short-haul services.
The airways operator is expected to order over 100 planes from Boeing and Airbus at the Paris Airshow slated for next month. Other than that, it will also take delivery of 10 Boeing 787s from 2017, for which it had placed orders a few years back.
