2007-08-21 12:26:00 Jet Airways is facing a tough time to turn around Air Sahara, after acquiring it for $340 million around three months back. While a part of the difficulties lies in the poor condition of Air Sahara?s fleet, a different work culture of Sahara employees is only adding to the problems, according to Garry Kingshott, CEO of JetLite (new name of Air Sahara).

Brussels airport pins hopes on Jet Airways
2007-07-20 14:36:00 With the imminent arrival of aircraft from Jet Airways, India's largest private airline, from Mumbai on August 5, low-key Brussels airport is hoping that the Indian carrier's daily Mumbai-Brussels-Newark service will bolster not only passenger but also cargo traffic with both India and the United States.
