Jet, Kingfisher may reduce number of flights
Private air carriers Kingfisher Airlines and Jet Airways, which have entered into an operational alliance recently, may reduce flights
as they tighten belts to overcome financial crunch.
"We are not going to unnecessarily deploy capacity which we cannot fill…if in non-peak hours Jet flight is not full and Kingfisher flight is not full, it makes sense for us to co-operate and fly one aircraft instead of two. (With this) the economics of airlines will improve substantially," Kingfisher Chairman and CEO Vijay Mallya told reporters here.
He also said the two private carriers would co-operate on international routes, even as Kingfisher’s plans to start non-stop flights to San-Francisco has been put on hold.
