India's Jet Airways volte-faces on B777 plans - CH Aviation
Contrary to earlier indications that it would abandon the type, Jet Airways (JAI, Mumbai Int'l) is now contemplating reactivating some of its owned B777-300(ER)s when it restarts, a source told The Economic Times.

Looks like they will be using the 737 NG and their existing B738 VT-JBG that has been stored at HYD since 2018 will be used for certifications.

They have also recently applied for their AOC:

Mumbai is almost reaching pre pandemic level, meaning slots are limited as before. Jet 2.0 will be based in Delhi initially, which still has slots but I suspect not many in the prime slots.

In other words, how do they plane to effectively compete against low cost giants like 6E, SG etc if they still plan to take on the full-service model?
Let's hope they don't have another saga like Air Sahara/JetLite/JetKonnect and buy unnecessary amounts of aircrafts (like their 777 order in the late 2000's).

They are starting with 737-800 proving flights.
But I wish they could take up the more fuel efficient A320neo that are leaving the Indigo fleet after 6 years of service.

Jet and SpiceJet, both Boeing 737 operators, was/are struggling compared to A320 operators - Indigo, Vistara, Go Air and Air Asia.

avier wrote:The NEO's are leaving the 6E fleet slowly.
There aren't enough neos available in the used market.
New early delivery slots from Airbus aren't available either for this type.
So I'd be surprised if they consider this model.
A220 or E-Jet E2 will be a real suprise. 737Max be ideal choice.

I would expect them to order something at Farnborough next month. I think it will be a fight between the A320neo family and the 737 MAX with it being Boeing's order to lose, considering Jet 1.0's historical fleet and the use of the Boeing 737-800 for proving flights. Don't think that they will get the E2 or A220 as they are much smaller than the competition's narrow-bodies. Seems like both AI and 9W are going shopping for new aircraft.

Those 777s are scrap at best.

The way things are moving, I am wondering if we will ever see them fly again.
