There was a lot left in the civil aviation sector, but with pending decisions to allow Jet Airways to travel international routes, new airports, the ISRO GAGAN free navigation initiatives. Infrastructure was a major thrust area, first roads, rails, and ports. I am sure Civil Avaition was next in the BJP radar for the next 5 years.

Do you trust the lice infested louts in the UPA to even care about the Indian economy, they know their coalition of the demented won’t last for more than a year, they are more interested in bribes and bakeesh. Can you say that of the BJP/NDA ?

Manmohan Singh is a great scholar, but not a great politician. He gets his orders from Sonia Gandhi – who is worse than a jerk, an opportunist – not the people or his own thoughts. He is weak in that respect.

AVP was a better PM anyday, under his leadership India was indeed shining (except to those short sighted farmers that want free power).

but then again this is not the place to discuss this issue. 🙂

The new govt in India the UPA is a farce coliltion of a bunch of nut cases – a crazy Italian gold digger whore that runs Congress, a buch of leftist loonies left in the past with a Stalin/China is great mantra, and some murderous criminals in the central cabinet.

They have taken India’s economy which was the fastest growing in the first quarter of this year with low inflation to record high inflation. Most of the UPAs decisions is just to spite the previous stellar NDA govt (with the BJP at its helms).

So you are right, it is a buch of politicians wanting to dip their greedy fingers in all previous deals – forget about the impact on Air India, Indian Airlines, the private sector, etc….

Such is the bane of democracy – bloody Congress party and leftist goons.

you are saying as if the BJP party did alot in the civil aviation sector. :rolleyes:

Mind you the current PM of India, Manmohan Singh is a great scholar and was responsible for most of the reforms in India in 1992. The Finance Minister of India is another great scholar. But yes the leftist parties have a majour say in this government and Sonia Gandhi is indeed a total jerk.

Dont think it is, can many of the American carriers actually afford new a/c? Most have them have fairly new fleets of 757/767/A300/A330.

why would you call A300 new?? I think some US airlines would do good with the 7E7.

Don’t hear a great deal about Jet airways in this part of the world, what’s their history???

thought you would never ask. 😀

India had a boom of new airlines between 1991-1993. This is when the government opened its skies for private airlines. This si when loads of new operators entered the Indian skies, namely Jet Airways, Air Sahara, Damania, (previously Sahara Airlines), East West Airlines, Modiluft and quite a few small feeder operators.

Within next 2 years out of the above list only 2 were left….. Jet Airways and Air Sahara. East West airlines folded when its owner was arrested in the Mumbai blasts of 1992. Modiluft folded due to background problems with LH, its technical provider. Damania folded due to huge losses and a questioned safety issue.

Jet Airways is owened by Naresh Goyal, CEO of Company TradeWinds which is registered at IoW. He started of initially with 3 B733s which were leased from Ansett Australia. Initially Jet Airways (9W) recieved help from Gulf Air which had a quite majour role to play. But slowly 9W stood on its own feet and the Gulf Air alliance was broken up. 9W has been known for its fantastic inflight service and modern fleet, 9W being the first Asian airline to induct the B739. The CEO Naresh Goyal is known as a hardliner, firing anyone who makes even the slightest mistake that might harm 9Ws reputation. He is also known for keeping his staff happy hence 9W not having a big union of any sort.

9W has an amazing safety record, not having any majour accident in its 10 years of flying (it completed a decade in 2003). The closest was a 9W making a hard landing that resulted in a belly landing on a B735 which they operated briefly. Otherwise they have had a spot on record. The airline has also won many quality awards. Imo its one of the ebst airline in the world.

Its bound to get an international license, it has already started services to Sri Lanka and Nepal and Singapore is on the cards.
