history
Jet Airways was founded on April 1, 1992 by billionaire and current Chairman of the Board Naresh Goyal . Flight operations began on May 5, 1993 with four Boeing 737-300s . Jet Airways also owns the low-cost airline JetKonnect , into which the other subsidiary JetLite was integrated in 2012.
In mid-2012, it became known that Jet Airways had submitted an application to the Indian government for approval to join the Star Alliance , but at the same time Jet Airways was also in negotiations with the SkyTeam and oneworld alliances .
In October 2013, the Indian government approved a 24 percent stake in Jet Airways by Etihad Airways from Abu Dhabi ; the purchase price is said to have been 20.6 billion rupees (about 246 million euros ).
After a quarterly loss of 28 million euros in the first quarter of 2014 and because of the new competitor Vistara , Jet Airways announced that from December 1, 2014, a full service will also be included in the ticket price in the economy. By the end of 2014, all aircraft should have a two-class configuration.
Jet Airways ceased operations effective April 18, 2019 due to insolvency. Jet Airways planned to resume operations in 2019 after being sold to a new majority shareholder.
Destinations
Jet Airways flew to destinations in India. From the 2nd half of 2007 to March 2016, Jet Airways used Brussels-Zaventem Airport with up to ten flights per day as a European aviation hub on flights to India and North America . From March 2016, instead of Brussels, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol will be served , while KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Delta Air Lines have become new codeshare partners.
