...claims "Delaware-based Jet Airways Inc", some wannabe Airline.. ! They have filed objections against 9Ws planned flights to the US, as "this would allegedly give Al-Qaeda "scope to fly and control aircraft" over American cities. These people claim there to be a financial connection to Al-Quaeda.
This article is absolut hillarious! Either it is Hoax, or these people from that other Jet Airways have swallowed their own nuts, or are just dumb and destructive, or they see them - without reason - in conflict to own bisuness interests, or...???
My thesis is that they are just a crew of dumbasses. REead this core quote:
"No matter how wonderful the service and the (Jet) airline may be in India, it is still an enterprise which is used to launder money for Al-Qaeda and is still an Al-Qaeda airline," alleged Nancy M Heckerman, chief executive officer and president of the Jet Airways Inc.
! Jet an Al-Queda Airline! So what is United then? Air George Bush, and US Airways?
How stupid and unethical can people be? Read the article, it is hillarious! A bad business practice
Setback to Jet Airways Mumbai-Newark flight launch
The plan of the Jet Airways to launch the Mumbai-Newark flight - the first by any private Indian airlines -- from June 23 seems to have received a major setback.
A little known American airlines with the same name tag has challenged before the US Department of Transportation (DOT) the Jet Airways application seeking a "foreign air carrier permit" under the open skies agreement signed between the two countries in mid-April.
The Delaware-based Jet Airways Inc - which is yet to launch its commercial operations -- in its objection on May 23 before DOT claimed that the Jet Airways (India), if given the permit, would threaten the US' national security as this would allegedly give Al-Qaeda "scope to fly and control aircraft" over American cities.

Mrniji,
This has to be the most hilarious article I've ever read. I'm sorry to say, but the COO of the Delaware's Jet Airways... does not make any sense. Oh well...
Thanks for the laughs man!
Cheers!

there are couple of question i'd like to ask that US company...
what happenes when 9W comes over to SEA to take delivary of their aircrafts? Isn't it a security threat then!!
I think 9W should consider Europe this time.

I'd say we A.netter are to blame for so much publicity of 9W well before its launch. I think these folks can hear 9W's cash register ringing. You bet the noise must be quite deafening.

I laughed so much that I almost fell of my chair. Jet Airways Limited has been flying since 1993. Jet Airways Inc. has yet to commence services. The CEO of Jet Airways Inc. should be taken to court for making such baseless allegations.
May be Naresh Goyal can hire Jay to pursue the case against her.

This was going to happen. There have been some issues with Jet Airways, like their supposed links to some Dubai mafia underworld and also that their holding company is registered in Cayman Islands or some other such shady tax haven.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was some lame ass extortion scheme that failed, so now they are carrying out their threats to make Jet's life more difficult. The question is who are these people and are they acting independently or do they have any ties to anyone else, say Air India.

Naresh Goyal has done his share of shady deals over time, but Jet Airways today is about as squeaky clean as it gets. He's been cleaning things up since his big investigation a few years ago and its all nicely transparent and public now.
I wouldn't be surprised if some of Jet's competitors (I'd say Air India but I know they aren't this resourceful but some other private carriers might be) actually put these guys up to it to delay things and hence reduce Jet's first mover advantage in the market.

The scoop?!?! So they're only worried they'd do it first? Is that the plan for the DE based JET? Sell airplane rides to terrorists?

I agree. I saw this article a few days back in Aviation Week. I didn't post the message due to the unneccessary hullabaloo it will create for people who don't know 9W.

Ok, I tried to Google Jet Airways Inc. and all I found is a logistics company. Makes no mention of Jet Airways in India and the CEO isn't the same person as menitoned in the article. These guys don't even have planes. I wonder where the Hindustan Times gets their information?

This article is ridiculous. It just shows you how ignorant and greedy some companies really are. Its a shame! I hope this is thrown out of the courts and the Jet Airways of India takes some actions against this company.

Ia Orana all !!!
These people are total idiots ! Jet Airways 9W should send back all Boeings to SEA as Boeing has been laundering Al-Qaeda money too by selling them to 9W.
Jet Airways should threaten to go all Airbus and we'll see what the DOT and department of homeland security will do ! I bet Airbus would be very happy to dump a few A320 family aircraft with Jet Airways on top of the announced A330/A340 family !
Wat a bunch of morons !!! They just want money that's all !!!

I also think that this is the case and totally agree with Sean...it did cross my mind that AI and S2 could have been initially behind it lets say that 9W eventually clears out everything and wins approval for flying to USA...then this Delaware person better start practicing for the marathon because 9W should sue her for damaging the airline's name etc in a very important market.
Just because the company is registered out of Delaware doesn't make them a Delaware-based company. Delta Air Lines is a Delaware-registered company, as is UAL Corp, but we don't refer to them as "Delaware-based".

Boeing has nothing to do with this. The government of the US has no objection to 9W coming to EWR. It is just this one company that you should be taking objection to. Please don't pin this on the entire US, as that is quite ignorant.
As for the lawsuit, if the government thought that 9W was a risk, they would not allow them into the country. Why should a private company have to 'fight terrorism,' as they seem to think they are doing.

Jet Airways 9W, can sue this company or person of this so called other Jet Airways for making this kind of comments, because they are basically trying to damage this airlines image. I'm sure the DOT will not pay attention to what the Jet Airways say about 9W.
