You may still not take off on time, but you might just get paid for it. The DGCA and Indian Civil Aviation Ministry yesterday put out a new consultation paper on passenger rights which include a long rope for customers and a short leash for the airlines concerned. Here is how the policy may change your travel experience.
A new Jet Airways 737 MAX Order is on its way, which will take up the order backlog from Jet Airways to Boeing to over 200. This new order is expected to be placed in the coming weeks.
Did You Know? Vistara offers complimentary drinks to everyone who is eligible for lounge access with the airline, at least at Mumbai airport. I learnt about this recently, after years of flying with them!
Jet Airways has announced that they will launch new flights between India and UK in the coming months. The airline will launch a Mumbai – Manchester flight in November 2018 on board their Airbus A330-200 aircraft.
Delta to India may be a reality very soon again. The airline, which killed their only 1-stop flight to Mumbai (via Amsterdam) may return to the market very soon, however, for them, this is made possible by the resolution of the Open Skies debate with the Middle-East. The world thinks otherwise.
Jet Airways yesterday announced their schedule to launch various UDAN routes that the airline was awarded under the RCS 2 scheme. This will mean, Jet Airways will launch flights to Nashik & Allahabad from various stations in the coming month.
Today we can confirm that WOW Air will be launching the first direct flights between India and Iceland in December 2018. As an ultra-low-cost carrier, expect to pay for everything but hope that the fares are dirt cheap too!
Jet Airways will realign how elite members will be able to pick up their Boarding Passes in the coming weeks. Elite members who used to get a separate dedicated check-in area will now be combined with Business Class check-in.
Air India intends to launch Mumbai to Frankfurt flights as quickly as 6 weeks from now. That should mean Lufthansa would get a helping hand/competition in the coming days for the Indian traffic.
Jet Airways’ first Boeing 737 MAX is right now on the FAL in Renton, getting assembled for delivery soon. This will be the first MAX for any airline in India. What do we expect inside this new fuel-efficient aircraft?
WOW Air is probably planning to start direct flights to Delhi, to connect India not just to Iceland but to the USA via their hub in Reykjavik airport. An announcement is imminent, and this could be the start of low-cost long-haul flying from India.
