Jet Airways to lease airbus A330 planes to Etihad Airways
- Jet Airways will trim its excess wide body capacity leasing three Airbus A330s to Etihad Airways.
- Airline withdrew from loss making international routes; Jet had to keep six of its airbus A330 sitting on ground and this led to an extra cost of $ 16.6 million
- Will also be leasing three Boeing 777s to Turkish Airlines once they come off the Thai Airways lease.
- The focal point will be Abu Dhabi which will be connected to various airports in India and will serve as a hub for onward flights to Africa, Europe and the US.
- Europe and US/Canada markets contribute to around 45% of airline's international revenue.
- Airline contemplating order for additional Boeing 737s; will take delivery of 46 Boeing 737s from its previous order over the period of next three years; airline will order 50 Boeing 737 Max planes.
