Jet Airways narrows long haul aircraft to Boeing 747-8 and 787

India’s Jet Airways says it is evaluating the Boeing 747-8 and 787 for its long-haul services, as it expresses confidence that it will be finally able to launch US services by the end of the year.
“We are talking to Boeing about the 747-8,” says Jet Airways chairman Naresh Goyal.
The Airbus A380 is also being evaluated, but Goyal believes the 550-seater is “too big” for its requirements. “We are also talking to Boeing about the 787,” he adds.
The launch of US services has been held up by delays in approval, but Goyal is confident these hurdles will soon be cleared.
