JetLite could soon fly abroad, said Naresh Goyal, whose airline Jet Airways acquired Air Sahara and renamed it JetLite recently. Though the primary focus would be to break even on the domestic routes, Jet plans to move the government to fly JetLite overseas too.
Naresh Goyal claimed that JetLite's financials are already better. Speaking at an IATA meeting, Goyal said that the process of relaunching and rebranding the airline are on. JetLite's new livery and logo are getting ready.
He said that just the same way low-cost -owned airlines from South east Asia and the Middle East fly to India, Indian low-cost airlines like JetLite can fly to these destinations.
Some of the Air Sahara planes were grounded for maintenance at the time of the Jet-Sahara acquisition. According to Naresh Goyal, the entire fleet of JetLite will be flying by September 1.
According to Naresh Goyal, JetLite has received all regulatory and governmental clearances, including from the Registrar of Companies.
According to an interview published in the Times of India with Union civil aviation minister Praful Patel, the government is open to the idea of allowing more Indian airlines to fly abroad. Currently, only Indian airlines with a minimum fleet of 20 aircraft and five years of flying exprience are allowed to fly overseas. If there is a policy change, new airlines like SpiceJet, Air Deccan and Kingfisher are expected to get permission to fly abroad.
