According to the Great Circle Mapper: DEL-LAX: 12,896km DEL-BRU-LAX: 15,486km (+20%) DEL-NRT-LAX: 14,693km (+14%) So, assuming the LAX flight would originate from DEL, and it's not really important as only the major cities like BOM & DEL should be considered for direct LAX offer. If it goes non...

Do you think they will recruite pilots and cabin crew in Brussels, and open a crewbase in Brussels? Would be very nice... I don't know how many crew will be on board a 340 and 777 with Jet Airways, but there will roughly be about 20 per flight. Ten daily flights means 200 crew members. One can imag...

The decicion to open new routes, investment in new aircraft, the startup of new operations and any other activity that involves money are based on business calculations, to make profit.

Too bad so many people here always feel the need to be cynical, even when good news is there. As I understand it, Jet Airways plans the following : 5 August 2007 : Bombay - Brussels - Newark, daily with B777-300 23 August 2007 : Startup of Delhi - Brussels - Toronto, with A330-200 October 2007 : Del...
