Jet Airways plans to merge its 2 LCC subsidiaries

Jet Airways (Jet Airways India Limited) (Mumbai) eventually intends to merge its two low-cost subsidiaries once the on-going legal dispute with Sahara India is ended. JetLite (formerly Air Sahara) (Delhi) was acquired by Jet Airways on April 12, ย 2007 for approximately $342 million. JetLite will be merged with Jet Airways Konnect (Mumbai) which Jet Airways launched on May 9, 2009 with two Boeing 737-800s and six ATR 72-500s. The only difference with Jet Airways (besides the lower fares) is passengers on Konnect must purchase any on-board meals. Sahara India has taken Jet Airways to the Mumbai High Court claiming the latter defaulted on the progressive payments for the Air Sahara. ย

Gulf Air (Bahrain) has decided to not pursue the dry lease option for the “foreseeable future” for the leased Jet Airways Boeing 777-300 ERs due to current economic situation. Under the original agreement Jet Airways agreed to operate the four Triple Sevens under a wet lease agreement for the first six months. After that period Gulf Air had the option to dry lease (operate) the aircraft but this will not happen at this time. Therefore the 777s will be returned around September 2009.
