Jet, Air Sahara to fly to Colombo by end January Jet Airways and Air Sahara said they were ready to fly to Colombo as soon as the bilateral issues were sorted out. Briefing mediapersons in India last week Civil Aviation Minister Rajiv Pratap Rudy said the open sky offers would be reciprocal and could be operational from January. Senior ministry officials said once the respective countries made their offers, the ministry would allot the unutilised rights of Indian Airlines and Air-India to Jet and Air Sahara. The Cabinet has approved private airlines' flights to SAARC (South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation) countries. It also approved the Asean (Association of South-East Asian Nations) and the Sri Lanka open sky offers made by Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee in October. Talking to Business Standard, Chief Executive Officer, Air Sahara UK Bose said that they are keen to start flights to Nepal and Bangladesh as soon as they are formally notified. We are prepared to fly to Colombo now. Air Sahara would undertake a fleet augmentation exercise as soon as unused bilaterals are extended to it, he said. Courtesy: Business Standard India |
