Jet Airways
is primarily a full freight carrier in India, which commenced its airline
business in 1993, however, to go with the trend of flying low cost carriers it
promoted two subsidiaries, JetLite and JetKonnect offering cheap air tickets to
passengers.
Low cost
carriers strive to operate with economically stringent operational procedures,
such as conserving fuel usage by carefully aligning routes, flying with less
loads etc. Besides withdrawing the Air travel luxuries of inflight free
catering and other frills. As for passengers, Cheap air tickets are obtainable
from Jet Airways, by availing their JP Miles points which are available with
every travel with them under their Jet Privilege program or through trades with
their partnering traders.
Sahara Airlines
Company was a full freight carrier since 1991 and later in 2000 it became Air
Sahara when the company rebranded it. However, Jet Airways acquired Air Sahara
in 2007 to make it JetLite flying with cheap air tickets. JetKonnect was
brought in by Jet Airways, as another low cost carrier in 2009, when there was
already a Low cost carrier of the company, mainly because of process delays
that were anticipated in transferring some of Jet Airways assets to JetLite.
However, JetLite got absorbed by JetKonnect in 2012. Now JetKonnect flies
schedules with cheap air tickets while Jet Airways functions as a full freight
carrier, domestic and international.
