Jet Airways mulls merging JetLite with itself

27 Aug 2013 Evaluate

In order to improve efficiency, Jet Airways may consider merging the Jet Konnect (JetLite) fleet with its own, under a single operating permit. JetLite is operated as a separate subsidiary and has a separate operating permit. Further, its schedule is separately filed with the Directorate General of Civil Aviation and its 15 Boeing 737s are not used for Jet Airways operations.

Further, optionally, the company is considering dropping no-frills Konnect brand altogether and using the entire JetLite fleet for the full service model.

Jet Airways acquired Air Sahara in 2007 and rechristened it as JetLite. However, the brand name, JetLite, was dropped last year while keeping two service models intact, a full service model and a no-frills model (Jet Konnect).

Currently, Jet Airways uses 54 Boeing 737s and 18 ATR turbo prop planes for its domestic operations.
