Jet Airways, India’s premier international airline, today announced the arrival of its first next generation Boeing 737-800 with Sky Interior. The induction of the new state-of-the-art Boeing 737-800 into Jet Airways’ young fleet is in keeping with the airline's commitment to continually innovate and differentiate its product for a heightened in-flight experience.
The all new Boeing 737-800 is replete with the very latest Boeing 787 inspired shape, color, décor and texture, all of which make for a truly unmatched flying experience. The minute the guest steps onboard the aircraft, he/she is greeted by the all new Sky Interior, complete with new cove lighting and a curved cabin architecture that provides a feeling of openness and space.
The bright new color and décor of the aircraft with modern, sculpted sidewalls and larger windows, combined with the effect of the light-emitting diode (LED) lighting significantly enhances the sense of spaciousness in the cabin. That aside, the dynamic and brighter LED lighting can portray different color schemes like a soft blue sky and a relaxing pallet of sunset colors, while providing for maximum efficiency and lower maintenance costs.
Another feature that will most definitely be appreciated by guests are the new pivot bins, which afford greater overhead bin capacity for storage.

Budget flights from Delhi and Mumbai
AIR fares to the key Indian cities of Delhi and Mumbai are set to tumble by more than half as the first budget carrier muscles in on the routes.
IndiGo, India's second biggest domestic carrier, will offer daily Singapore-Delhi flights from Sept 15.
It starts its runs to and from Mumbai the following month, and will add Chennai and Bangalore by early next year.
At a Singapore press conference on Tuesday, IndiGo president Aditya Ghosh said he is confident it will expand, rather than cannibalise, the market.
The Singapore-Delhi sector, covered in a 5 1/2-hour flight, is nowserved by India's full-service carriers Air India and Jet Airways, and Singapore Airlines; Singapore-Mumbai is served by five airlines, including Australia's Qantas and India's Kingfisher Airlines.
With strong ties between the two countries and a growing expatriate population on both sides, potential exists for growth in the Singapore-India air travel market, Mr Ghosh said, adding: 'I really, truly believe that the market will expand, so I'm not sure that we're looking at eating market share from anyone.'

kingfisher airline sand Malaysia Airlines to join oneworld alliance
Malaysia Airlines is to join oneworld, adding one of aviation's most frequent award winners to the world's leading quality airline alliance.
Malaysia Airlines was unanimously elected a oneworld member designate by the Chief Executives of the alliance's member airlines, at a meeting on the sidelines of IATA's 2011 World Air Transport Summit, which opens in Singapore today.
A formal alliance membership agreement will be completed soon.
Malaysia Airlines is expected to start flying as part of oneworld late next year.
As it prepares for its alliance membership, Malaysia Airlines intends to develop bilateral links with a number of oneworld's established partners, who include some of the biggest and best names in the airline industry. It already code-shares with oneworld partners Cathay Pacific and Royal Jordanian.
When it becomes part of oneworld, its customers will gain access to the alliance's truly global network. It will expand oneworld's global coverage to almost 950 destinations in 150 countries, served by a combined fleet of more than 2,600 aircraft operating some 10,000 flights a day and carrying 358 million passengers a year.
Three established oneworld member airlines currently serve Malaysia, with Cathay Pacific, Japan Airlines and Royal Jordanian flying to Kuala Lumpur, and Cathay Pacific also to Penang and, through its Dragonair affiliate, Kota Kinabalu. Opportunities for expanding the alliance's coverage of the country will be explored as Malaysia Airlines prepares to join.

Royal Caribbean International and Kingfisher Airlines announce strategic alliance
Royal Caribbean International and Kingfisher Airlines have formed an alliance that will offer customers conveniently bundled vacation packages as well as enhanced member benefits for members of King Club, Kingfisher Airlines’ loyalty program.
Kingfisher Airlines is one of India’s market-leading airlines and is a member-elect of the world’s leading quality airline alliance, oneworld. Royal Caribbean International is one of the largest cruise lines in the world, offering vacations to more than 260 ports around the world.
“Working together, we can offer a number of synergies and new benefits to our Royal Caribbean International guests, and to Kingfisher customers,” explains Michael Bayley, Executive Vice President of International for Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd. “India is a key market for us, and we look forward to expanding our brand presence there and introducing people to the world of cruising.”
"At King Club, our vision is to deliver a bouquet of unmatched and innovative benefits across the world to our members, in collaboration with leading national and international brands,” said Ms. Anshu Sarin, Vice President of Guest Loyalty and Kingfisher Holidays at Kingfisher Airlines Ltd. “The alliance with Royal Caribbean International is yet another initiative that will expand the range of exciting and exclusive benefits we offer our King Club guests.”
This is the first time Royal Caribbean has entered into a strategic alliance of this magnitude in the Asia-Pacific region, where the Legend of the Seas sails out of Singapore and Hong Kong, and Brilliance of the Seas is home-ported in Dubai seasonally. Kingfisher Airlines flies to all three of these embarkation ports from cities throughout India and its tour division, Kingfisher Holidays, conveniently bundles vacation packages that include both a Royal Caribbean cruise and airfare for the Kingfisher Airlines guests.
To celebrate the new partnership, Kingfisher Airlines is launching an online sweepstakes for its King Club members, which will give one lucky couple from India a free 4-night Isles of Southeast Asia cruise on Legend of the Seas departing from Singapore on May 23, 2011. The 2,074-passenger Legend of the Seas offers guests Broadway-style musicals in the theatre, themed parties, a Vegas style casino, drinks in the panoramic Viking Crown Lounge and much more. Furthermore, the winning couple will receive round-trip flights from Kingfisher Airlines.
Another advantage of the alliance is that Kingfisher Airlines’ King Club members will earn miles when they book a qualifying Royal Caribbean International cruise. For example, members will earn 1,500 King Club miles when booking a balcony stateroom on a 4- to 5-night cruise or 2,500 miles for a 6- to 8-night cruise in a Junior Suite. When booking for a group, the King Club member who reserves and pays for the stateroom will receive the miles. Members can redeem their miles for upgrades and free airline tickets.
Kingfisher Airlines is one of India’s market-leading airlines and is a member-elect of the world’s leading quality airline alliance, oneworld. Royal Caribbean International is one of the largest cruise lines in the world, offering vacations to more than 260 ports around the world.
“Working together, we can offer a number of synergies and new benefits to our Royal Caribbean International guests, and to Kingfisher customers,” explains Michael Bayley, Executive Vice President of International for Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd. “India is a key market for us, and we look forward to expanding our brand presence there and introducing people to the world of cruising.”
"At King Club, our vision is to deliver a bouquet of unmatched and innovative benefits across the world to our members, in collaboration with leading national and international brands,” said Ms. Anshu Sarin, Vice President of Guest Loyalty and Kingfisher Holidays at Kingfisher Airlines Ltd. “The alliance with Royal Caribbean International is yet another initiative that will expand the range of exciting and exclusive benefits we offer our King Club guests.”
This is the first time Royal Caribbean has entered into a strategic alliance of this magnitude in the Asia-Pacific region, where the Legend of the Seas sails out of Singapore and Hong Kong, and Brilliance of the Seas is home-ported in Dubai seasonally.

Jet Airways unveils bespoke crockery onboard its First Class and Première cabins
Jet Airways, India’s premier international airline, today unveiled a new line of bespoke crockery from the house of William Edwards – one of Britain’s leading and awarded ceramic designers, in its endeavour to redefine the in-flight dining experience for its guests. The concept for this new Jet Airways’ service drew inspiration from the airline’s corporate identity and has created a distinctive “look” for both Première and First Class, differentiating it from other airline brands.
The design elements of the new crockery incorporate the traditional hand decoration techniques of English potters in the Stoke-On-Trent area, handed down from generations. It involves the use of formal and intricate decorative techniques in the development of a range of fine bone chinaware, often prided as collector’s pieces. Working mainly on special commissions, the William Edwards hand wrought tableware for Jet Airways sets the airline’s hallmark onboard service to a new level. The First Class collection utilises a style and colouration that picks up on the warm rich colours and textures associated with Indian culture, with the use of precious metal – real gold and gold mica to add richness to the collection.
Using a similar design format – the Première collection is set apart from the First Class line by incorporating platinum and silver mica, to reflect “corporate smartness” with a subtle combination of both white and decorated items, delivering an exclusive appearance to the Première guests.
Furthermore, the classic shapes of the round rimmed tableware and the contemporary colours and styles are juxtaposed to create a fine balance. The product’s twelve month journey from concept to delivery stage stands testimony to the dedication and attention to detail displayed by the in-house team responsible for developing the product. According to designer William Edwards it was an “extended creative process”.
In addition, the airline will also redefine the in-flight dining experience for its guests with a range of varied and delectable Indian and international menu options, effective May 5, 2011 for First Class guests, and June 1, 2011 onwards for Première guests. Guests may also customize their meals as per their tastes, choosing exactly what they would like to eat.
The meals in India are prepared by the Kitchens of Oberoi and in London by the iconic Bombay Brasserie, which was awarded Tatler’s ‘Restaurant of the Decade’ and a pioneer of traditional and authentic regional Indian food in Europe.
According to Mr. Sudheer Raghavan, Chief Commerical Officer, Jet Airways, “At Jet Airways, we have always endeavoured to provide our First Class and Première guests with an unparalleled in-flight travel experience- including a world-class in-flight product, superb service, and class-leading cuisine. We are confident, that with the introduction of this elegant, bespoke crockery from the house of William Edwards, as also our new meal concepts, will be much appreciated by the discerning global traveller.”

This ACE Award for the category “Air Carrier – Up to 199,999 annual tonnes” is based on overall ratings given by air freight forwarders to the airline engaged in the business in key areas of measurement. These areas of measurement seek to recognize and honour excellence in customer service, performance, value and information technology.
Mr. Sudheer Raghavan, Chief Commercial Officer, Jet Airways, said, “The Air Cargo Award of Excellence 2011 is widely respected across the freight forwarding and trade industry and we are delighted to receive this honour.
