Abstract:
This was because the new aircrafts were fuel-efficient and cheaper to maintain. Jet Airways also had only one type of aircraft'the 737--in its fleet. This ensured that maintenance and flight crew training was simpler. Because of the above factors, Jet Airways' aircraft utilisation and number of flights per day was more than that of Indian Airlines. Another reason for the success of Jet Airways was its lean structure. Compared to Indian Airlines' 397 employees per aircraft, Jet Airways had only 163 employees per aircraft. The case also highlights the fact that Jet Airways was virtually the only private player in the aviation industry. It did not face any competition from the other private player-Sahara Airlines. With more private players planning to enter the Indian sky, Jet Airways has to gear up for competition ahead. The company was also embroiled in a controversy regarding its ownership, with Naresh Goyal, chairman of Jet Airways claiming that he owns Jet Airways.
