Re: Indian Aviation Thread - July 2019
These BOM/DEL flights are exact replacements of erstwhile Jet Airways' flights with even the same timings. As you say this , I hope someone takes over 9W's morning BOM-LHR flight . I'm a bit disappointed that VS timed it's BOM flight at midnight along with other EU carriers . Morning flights to EU ...

Indian LCC's continue to add int'l flights from BOM/DEL mostly, much like what 9W did (a reason small town residents hated the airline for, on here). The big two cities continue to be the most attractive markets for all airlines, be it on domestic or int'l. Just a few posts above there are GoAir's ...
