I've been really suprised with the lack of advertising for this new service. There has been none, at least from what I've seen. Last month when Qatar started they had tv/radio ads, billboards up and down the turnpike and even some academy buses painted up. But the first flight is scheduled to arrive at 11:50 today.

VT-JEA is the plane doing the first flight. After a 2hour stop in Brussels (coming from BOM) and a ceremony to celebrate the first scheduled flight of Jet Airways, the plane departed for EWR with a small delay of 30 minutes.

Jet Airways has ads on the Turnpike between 13A and 14 as well as advertising in local papers. They also have been getting good press on local tv for their new suites.

Quoting FLYGUY767 (Reply 4): Lets hope that they are not advertising in Downtown Newark...
If they were flying to Portugal they might want to advertise in Downtown Newark (as TAP does), otherwise, Jersey City, Edison and Princeton would make much more sense for advertising to local Indian population centers.

Really thought they would have entered the market with a big bang. Similar lack of advertising, promotiion, awareness in the YYZ market in preparation for their flights next month. In fact on their website, no press release, and on-line booking not even updated to include YYZ as a destination, despite being uploaded into CRS/GDS systems.
However, that being said, they will do just fine out of Toronto.

They left Brussels after a 30 min. delay. Great start. EWR is the perfect choice. Welcome, Jet Airways, hope you like delays, we have lots of them.
Cameras shoot pictures. Guns shoot people. They have the guns.

Quoting Andrej (Reply 10): It is nice to see 777-300ER to become regular sight at EWR.
This is the first scheduled 773 to EWR, correct? Have there even been other 773 flights to EWR?

Quoting Corey07850 (Reply 16): This is the first scheduled 773 to EWR, correct? Have there even been other 773 flights to EWR?
looks like this is the first 773 scheduled at EWR. Continental, British Airways, EL AL, and Alitalia fly 772's in and out of EWR.
25 STT757: Add Air India, Malaysian, and sometimes Air France and KLM to that list.
28 Buck3y3nut: it's a direct flight; however not a non-stop flight. It has a stopover in BRU for 2 hrs I believe... BTW, great pictures... and 9W, welcome to the US
29 Qantas744ER: Regarding 77W at EWR: Eva Air will replace their 74E flight TPE-SEA-EWR with 77W this year Get your cameras ready Leo
30 Max Q: Shame that EVA is replacing their beautiful 744 in EWR with another boring twin.
32 AlitaliaMD11: Great shots of the Jet, Bill! Shame she doesn't come in during better light. I would be if Eva came in during daylight hours! As well as equipment cha
33 BRxxx: But EVA Air would also replace 77W with a 744 on their TPE-LHR route during December.
35 Flying Belgian: But today is the real start !! They have two machines in operations for the BOM-EWR via BRU. Any idea of the loads for the coming days ? FB.
36 Express1: Jet Airways is a fast expanding airline,in aircraft and routes. Now is there eny chance, a few years down the road,that this Airline could take over A
37 Flyvabb: Hey here is a view of JEA on the ground on BOM, at the moment i assume she was still running ont he BOM - LHR routes, any news on the latest a/c JEC?
38 FLYGUY767: Sad to say that the United Airlines 777-200 to Denver and Heathrow has sailed into history.. Didnt American Airlines operate the 777-200 for a short
39 Indio66: They have been advertizing in the NY papers quite a bit. As I recall, the connection time in BRU from EWR is pretty long. Nice to see new service in t
40 STT757: If they did it was quite short or a sub, AA used 767-200s, 767-300s and A300-600Rs on EWR-LHR. UAL used 747SP, 747-200s and finally 777-200s on EWR-L
42 BigOrange: December 6th They probably do full servicing on the a/c in BRU, i.e. all pax off the plane and those continuing to BOM, get put in a holding room whi
43 Avro85: The connection time is 2h in BRU !! EWR-BRU-BOM : arrival in BRU at 9h40LT departure at 11h40LT BOM-BRU-EWR : arrival in BRU at 7h40LT departure at 9
44 Nimish: Hey - any pictures/details of this lounge?

46 Boeing737WG: Thanks Njgtr82 for the photo's. What a beautiful aircraft. Hopefully this is the start of more 77W service in the USA! Thanks, Boeing737WG
47 Kaitak744: Another reason for long connection times is probably to (in the future) allow people to connect to other Jet Airways flights going through BRU. This
48 Njgtr82: Thanks for the kind remarks guys Tuesday there will be a ceremony to mark the new route at EWR, I was curious as why they would wait til the 3rd day o
49 Nycfly75: They actually have a billboard by one of the entrances to JFK!
50 Jlk: Excellent pictures. The picture where NG bows down on the ground and prays is interesting. The aircraft and the crew look young and vibrant.
52 AirIndia: From the pictures it seems that 9W have become very religious. I see a hindu priest, a sikh priest and a christian priest pffering prayers. Is it true
53 Gr8Circle: I was looking at the seatmap of the 773 on the 9W site and the seat nos are not at all readable....does anyone have a seat map of the 9W 773's with re
54 BigTom: Probably a ploy to appear politically correct ... Cheers
55 Cricket: Looking good! I hope 9W can make a success out of its US operations.
56 HAWK21M: Its called keeping all concerned happy regds MEL
57 VTNYC: One can only hope for 3X weekly COK-BRU, CCU-BRU etc. Hopefully it's in their long term plans.
58 MaverickM11: Why would anyone in significant numbers choose a onestop BOM/NYC when there will soon be two nonstops?
59 Mk777: Thats what i don't understand either, instead 9W should try one-stop flights to destinations currently not being served and test the market (i could
60 Corey07850: Are they allowed to sell the EWR-BRU portion?
62 MaverickM11: Yeah, with an SN codeshare. I think that will make or break the 9W BRU hub experiment as the India/US one stop passengers will be easily poached by n
63 Nimish: 1. 9W FFPs will fly 9W - no matter what. Most of India's frequent business travellers are probably already gold/platinum on 9W and will prefer 9W. Bu
64 Kaitak744: Well, Jet Airways' service is significantly better than anyone else on the route. Also, their first and business classes are said to be cheaper. Also
65 OURBOEING: This is absolutely the most GORGEOUS 777 period. Go Jet Airways!! OURBOEING
66 MaverickM11: I'm skeptical that NW's hub in NRT is profitable, particularly in the long term. I think that will only matter on the individual segments rather than
67 Scorpio: Probably because that's when Naresh Goyal (9W's CEO) managed to get there: he arrived on the first flight from Mumbai to Brussels, and stayed there f
68 Scorpio: There is, or will be, nonstop competition only on a few sectors, and not on most of the 25 (!) one-stop routes that this operation will soon offer, a
69 VinnieWinnie: Why does EK have a stopover in Hamburg between Dubai and NYC? Cause it picks up traffic as well! + Jet airways Scissor operation system will bring man
70 Sshank: One reason could be that 9W is offering real bargain fares right now - I am looking at tix to India ex PHL/EWR for the end of the month and 9W is lowe
71 Blrsea: Yup, totally agree. However, it also depends on the interline arrangements that 9W has with other carriers in US. How many cities does SN serve in US
72 Nimish: I haven't heard of any extensive US code share deals that 9W has struck. I'm guessing they're initially chasing more of the one-stop traffic at the m
73 VinnieWinnie: None! We Belgians rely on Continental, Delta, American, US and for only a little bit more Northwest to take us to the US! Brussels Airlines only serv
