Sahara followed by Jet Airways has started international flight from India
Sahara followed by Jet Airways has started first international flight
to Colombo (Sri Lanka). With this, Indian private operators start the first ever international operation. Both the airlines recently got the permission to operate flights to Nepal and Bangladesh. Very soon Jet Airways and Sahara and in the long run, newer players can operate flights to America and Europe. Both the major private airlines are tight-lipped about their plans but Sahara is expected to commence operations to Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore soon. Jet is expected to charter the new-generation Boeing 777 and may announce non-stop operations between Delhi and New York, thus significantly cutting journey times to the US. At present, of the 15 million international travelers who use Indian airports, nearly 70 per cent fly on foreign airlines. Now that the private sector will provide an alternative, not only will that balance alter, but the hotel industry is hopeful that there will also be a doubling in the number of tourists flying to India because the non-availability of seats has always been the big deterrent. As for fares, both Jet and Sahara are expected to announce apex schemes of the kind that prevail in the domestic sector and under-the-table discounts to travel agents are certain to go up. The travel trade is already talking about fares to London that are as low as Rs 18,000 to 20,000 and special fares to New York of Rs 25,000. |

And foreign carriers could not get more slots as the government does not want to increase their 70 % share. Regards, ULF |
