Airbus announces $13 b deals with Indian cos for 125 aircraft
European aircraft maker Airbus today said it will supply 125 aircraft to domestic airlines Kingfisher, Jet Airways and soon-to-be-launched IndiGo in deals valued at 13 billion dollars.

''We have received order for supply of 100 jets in the single-aisle A320 from IndiGo and 10 aircraft from Jet Airways. The 15 planes order for Kingfisher includes 10 A380 superjumbos and other aircraft. Besides, Jet has also placed option for 10 more planes,'' Airbus Senior Vice President (Marketing) Kiran Rao told reporters here.

The planes would be sold over the next nine years. ''The planes to IndiGo will be supplied over nine years, to Kingfisher over seven years and to Jet Airways in the next three years,'' Airbus Vice President (Sales) Niger Harwood said.

The Kingfisher deal is a definitive purchase agreement for 15 aircraft. ''We are starting discussions with the other two buyers tomorrow on finalising the deal,'' Mr Rao said.

The massive order from IndiGo, being promoted jointly by InterGlobe and Mr Rakesh Gangwal, who has more than two-decades of experience with various airlines, created stir at the Paris airshow last week. IndiGo is being planned as a low-cost venture, entering the market with a nationwide network and a full fleet of jets.

''India is one of the world's most promising markets. We have projected that India needs 570 aircraft by 2023 and Airbus expects to win at least half of this 55 billion-dollar market,'' Mr Harwood said.

Against the global average of 5 per cent, air travel in India is growing at around 20 per cent, he pointed out.

Und wie schon fluhu geschrieben hat, da nimmt auch schon Zeiten an, wo man dafür in MUC beschimpft wird, wenn man diese überhaupt zu nennen wagt.
 
aus der SZ (2./3.7.)

Die Regierung in Dehli hat bereits ein Investitionsprogramm von fast neun Milliarden US-Dollar zum Ausbau der Flughäfen angekündigt, teilweise privat finanzierte Komplett-Neubauten sind unter anderem in den beiden IT-Metropolen Bangalore und Hyderabad geplant. Nur 15 Millionen Einwohner des Subkontinents konnten sich bisher eine Flugreise leisten - bei einer Gesamtbevölkerung von einer Milliarde Menschen und gerade mal 125 Flugzeugen im Land.
 
2 new airlines for KolkataAir activity intensifies over eastern regionSohini Mookherjea / Kolkata July 05, 2005Jetstar Airways, Australia’s new low cost carrier, and Cosmic Air, the leading Nepalese carrier, are set to launch flights in Kolkata from July, said Arnab Mukherjee, chairman of Indian Association of Tour Operators (IATO), West Bengal chapter. The Impulse brand purchased by Qantas has been reircarnated as Jetstar Airways and a wholly owned subsidiary of Qantas. It will operate flights from Kolkata to Singapore and operations should commence by the month of July, Mukherjee said. Nepal’s Cosmic Air, which currently flies to the remote regions of Nepal, already has flights to New Delhi and will start its thrice weekly Kolkata-Kathmandu flight by July 17 subject to permissions. Cosmic already has two flights a day to New Delhi but for the Kolkata leg will need three flights a week to achieve viability, he indicated. Mukherjee said this on the sidelines of a meeting organised by the Tourism Corporation of Gujarat to promote Gujarat as a destination for tourists from West Bengal. Thai Airways has recently increased flight frequency from three to five flights a week, while Singapore Airlines has stepped up frequency to four weekly. Air India, for the first time in its history, has launched a flight nonstop from Kolkata to London thrice a week. Mukherjee said commission from international air ticketing for travel agents would be eliminated soon and ticketing costs would fall. “The commission was 11 per cent prior to 1990, then 9 per cent till 1997 and then became 7 per cent till 2005 before falling to 5 per cent in May 2005 - the day is near when the commission will be scrapped altogether,” noted Mukherjee. The commission will be replaced by a marketing fee charged by travel agents at a rate lower than commission. This has happened globally following the advent of internet or e-ticketing, the low cost carrier challenge and growth of airline portals, explained Mukherjee. Travel agents would have to redefine their role and focus on surface or ground travel, Mukherjee said.
 
Air-India to launch 14 flights to Southeast Asia

Mumbai : State-run international carrier Air-India will Thursday launch 14 additional flights to Bangkok, Singapore, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur and Osaka as part of its aggressive expansion plans on lucrative routes.

In addition to the increase in number of flights to almost all existing destinations in Asia, Seoul in South Korea is being added as a new destination on Air-India's network, said a statement from the airline.

Mumbai will now be served through non-stop flights to Singapore, Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur.

Air-India will now have 16 flights a week to and from Singapore with non-stop services from Mumbai, New Delhi, Chennai and Hyderabad.

While seven flights will link Chennai with Singapore, four will be operated from New Delhi. Five services a week will be operated from Mumbai every week.

Air-India will also increase frequency of services to Kuala Lumpur. There will be 13 flights a week - seven from Chennai and three non-stop flights each from Mumbai and New Delhi.

The country's flag-carrier would also more than double its services to Hong Kong. As against five services being operated, the number of flights will be increased to 12.

There will be five services from Mumbai to Hong Kong via Bangkok on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

Seven additional flights will be operated to Hong Kong from Mumbai via New Delhi, with three services extended to Osaka and four flights to Seoul.

Further, Air-India will operate 11 flights a week to Bangkok from Mumbai, instead of six at present. Of these, five will be extended to Hong Kong and six flights will be operated to Bangkok from Mumbai via New Delhi.

Four of the Mumbai-Bangkok flights will proceed further to Shanghai and the other two to Tokyo, thus offering connectivity to Hong Kong, in addition to Shanghai and Tokyo, from Bangkok.

Air-India is recommencing services to South Korea Thursday after a gap of almost six years.

Four flights a week will be operated from Mumbai to Seoul via New Delhi and Hong Kong with standardised timings on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.

Traffic between India and Southeast Asia, particularly the leisure market, has been growing and is expected to continue to grow at around 10 percent per annum.

Air-India had, however, not been able to take full advantage of the growth due to capacity constraints in the past. The new flights are a part of the airline's efforts to enhance market share.
 
Vijay Mallya, indischer Bierbaron, Eigentümer von Kingfisher der größten Brauerei Indiens und das "indische Äquivalent zum britischen Milliardär Sir Richard Branson" gründet eine neue Fluggesellschaft mit den Sitz in den USA mit den Namen Kingfisher International.
Da es seiner indischen Fluggesellschaft nicht so bald erlaubt wird internationale Strecken zu bedienen hat Vijay Mallya angedeutet, dass hierfür die US-Gesellschaft genutzt werden könnte.
Kingfisher hat auf der Pariser Messe in Le Bourget für Aufsehen gesorgt, da sie dort einen immensen Großauftrag bei Airbus bekannt gegeben, der Flugzeuge der Typen A380, A350 und A330 umfasst :

So eine Ziel in Texas mit Air India B772 wäre schon ein Highlight. Vielleicht noch ein Mix aus B772 und B744 im täglichen Wechsel. ;) Eigentlich kommen sie dann ja gleich 2x am Tag, auf Hin- und Rückflug.
 
According to The Economic Times of India, Jet Airways is looking to fly to Birmingham from India.

"The airline already operates a daily flight to London, which it proposes to double this winter besides introducing a thrice-weekly flight to Birmingham."

What do you think will happen in reality guys? I know AI is doing very well with its flights to BHX (just look at the loads, though I know that doesn't always mean $$$). Where would 9W fly to...ATQ, DEL or BOM?

Boeing Confirms Jet Airways Order for Ten 777-300ERs



2005-10-05

By: The Boeing Company

The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] today confirmed the completion of an order agreement with Mumbai-based Jet Airways for 10 777-300ERs.
Jet Airways announced its intention to order the commercial airplanes, valued at $2.53 billion at list prices, at the Paris Air Show in June. Deliveries will begin in early 2007.
The 777-300ERs will be used to expand Jet Airways' international operations in Europe, Asia and U.S. markets.
"It is important that Jet Airways take the necessary steps to ensure its leadership position in the fast-expanding Indian aviation market," said Jet Airways Chairman Naresh Goyal. "I am confident that the operating efficiencies and passenger comfort of the Boeing 777 will help ensure the success and profitability of our growing route structure and play a pivotal role in our long-haul growth strategy."
"The 777-300ERs deliver real advantages to our airline customers and help them generate strong profitability from their operations," said Dinesh Keskar, vice president-South and Southeast Asia Sales at Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "We are gratified that our airplanes play a role in the Jet Airways success story in the Indian commercial aviation industry and look forward to continuing our mutually beneficial relationship well into the future."
The Boeing 777-300ER is the largest long-range twin-engine commercial airplane in the world. It extends the 777 family's span of capabilities, bringing twin-engine efficiency and reliability to the long-range market. The 777-300ER, the newest entry in the 300-400 seat market, is 18 percent lighter, consumes 24 percent less fuel per passenger and carries 42 more passengers than the Airbus 340-600.
The Boeing 777 is preferred throughout the industry by both passengers and airlines with over 60 percent market share. The 777 family continues to expand with the recent addition of the world's longest-range commercial jetliner, the 777-200LR (currently in flight test), and the launch of the 777 Freighter in May. To date, 40 airlines have ordered over 700 Boeing 777s, making the 777 the most preferred airplane in its class. Worldwide, more than 520 have been delivered.
In 2007, six additional 737-800s will join Jet Airways' fleet. Jet Airways currently operates a fleet of 39 Classic and Next-Generation Boeing 737-400/-700/-800/-900 airplanes. The airline has one of the youngest aircraft fleets in the world.
Approximately 24,000 passengers travel daily on more than 280 Jet Airways flights to 48 destinations that span the length and breadth of India and beyond, including Colombo, Sri Lanka; Kathmandu, Nepal; Singapore; Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; and London Heathrow, U.K. Since its inception in May 1993 until end of August 2005, Jet Airways has flown over 53.5 million passengers.
 
Auf Grund der schnellen Entwicklung der indischen Luftfahrt und speziell der Firmenneugründungen werden die Piloten knapp. Da neue Airlines offensichtlich mit Vorliebe Piloten der etablierten Gesellschaften abwarben und vereinzelt sogar Flüge gestrichen werden mußten, weil die Crew kurzfristig kündigte, wurde laut FLIGHT INTERNATIONAL ein neues Gesetz erlassen. Piloten müssen jetzt ihre Kündigung mindestens 6 Monate vorher bekannt geben. Damit soll dem "Pilotenklau" Einahlt geboten werden.

[FONT=ARIAL,]
Indian Airlines (IA) has floated tenders to lease 12 wide-bodied aircraft to launch new foreign operations, while its subsidiary Alliance Air would lease two Business Jets for operations of oil major ONGC.

This is the second time this year that IA has floated the tenders for wide-bodied aircraft as the previous tenders did not receive any firm response.

Air India gets govt nod to buy 68 aircraft from Boeing
Our Correspondent, New Delhi

The Indian government has given the go-ahead to state-owned Air India's two separate proposals to acquire 68 aircraft from US plane manufacturer Boeing Corporation.

Indian Civil Aviation Secretary Ajay Prasad told reporters here on Thursday that the Public Investment Board has decided to recommend to the government a proposal to acquire 50 planes for Air India and 18 for its low-cost subsidiary Air India Express.

"The exact amount (for acquiring the aircraft) is going to be looked at and re-worked," he said.

The proposal, endorsed by the Investment Board, will now be put up before the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs for final approval.
In April this year, the Air India Board had approved a proposal to acquire eight Boeing 777-200s (LR), 15 B777-300s (ER) and 27 B787s at a total cost of nearly Rs 30,000 crore. Negotiations for the price between an Air India team and Boeing are on.
 
27th NOV 18:39 hrs IST Air Deccan to launch new flights in Feb 06
- -New Delhi: Low cost carrier Air Deccan has announced the launch of direct daily flights from Chennai to Pune and Chennai to Thiruvananthapuram from February 1 next year.

It will also launch direct daily flights from Ahmedabad to Hyderabad from that date. Booking for these three sectors started this morning.

A 180-seater Airbus A320 will be deployed on the routes. A total of 100 seats will be priced below Rs 2,000.

Meanwhile, Air Deccan has opened bookings on all Airbus sectors for travel between February and March 06. The destinations include Ahmedabad, Baghdogra, Bangalore, Chennai, Coimbatore, Delhi, Goa, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Kochi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Nagpur, Pune, Raipur, Srinagar and Thiruvananthapuram.

A total of 50,000 tickets priced between Re one (plus taxes) and Rs 999 (plus taxes) will be released for travel.
 
Air-India to acquire six aircraft on leaseP R Sanjai / Mumbai November 29, 2005Air-India (A-I) is planning to acquire six long-range aircraft on lease to meet its route expansion demand. The national carrier will also acquire three more aircraft on lease for its low cost airline Air-India Express. “A-I's aircraft utilisation is very high and we cannot expand further without sufficient aircraft. We have already signed lease agreement for A-I and will soon sign lease agreements for Air-India Express,” V Thulasidas, chairman and managing director of A-I, said. The Public Investment Board had approved the proposal for acquiring 50 new long range wide-bodied aircraft for Air-India and 18 B737-800W aircraft for Air-India Express. The aircraft for A-I and Air-India Express would, however, join the fleet by October 2006 and February 2007, respectively. As the airline cannot wait for one year for expansion of routes, leasing route has become inevitable, Thulasidas said. "We are planning to acquire aircraft of either 747, 777 or A 330 configuration aircraft for A-I. We are close to finalising the configuration of A-I. Air-India Express will, however, opt for 777 - 800 aircraft," he said. The idea is to have 10 aircraft for Air India Express and would explore more destinations in the Gulf and south east Asian routes. Meanwhile, the empowered group of ministers (eGoM) is negotiating the total cost of acquiring 68 aircraft from Boeing. The Cabinet Committee for Economic Affairs (CCEA) and eGoM are likely to finalise the negotiations this week. A letter of intent would be sent to Boeing, followed by the signing of a purchase agreement once the CCEA approval is received. The total cost of these aircraft and related infrastructure is estimated to be about Rs 35,000 crore, prior to negotiations with manufacturers of airframe and engines.
 
Sahara has announced their flight to London (LHR?) from DEL starting Jan 6, 2006, on a 4 class 767, 4x weekly. The promotional economy fare is Rs 28,500 with a free domestic RT ticket or a free RT to Singapore!. Happy to see them going to London. I hope they have a good schedule which would make it possible to connect to either AA or BA flights to USA.

Mittlerweile fliegen dann sieben Airlines von London nach Indien. :resp:


 
Nach meinem letzten Flug via LHR kann ich mir vorstellen, dass das noch viel mehr werden - so viele "Friends and Relatives" allein am Airport.;)
