Jetstar Asia too eyes Jet Airways

Jetstar Asia is trying to form an alliance with Jet Airways, the same Indian airline Qantas wishes to make a code-share deal with, according to Jetstar chief executive Alan Joyce.
"Jetstar Asia has been in dialogue with Jet Airways" and one or two other Indian carriers, Mr Joyce said yesterday, "but no firm agreement has been reached with anybody".
Qantas has also applied for a code-share agreement Jet Airways, which flies to 43 cities and has 35 per cent of the local Indian market. Qantas has said it and the Jetstar group would complement each other rather than compete for each other's passengers.
Neither airline could comment on whether both having code-share arrangements with Jet Airways would put them into direct competition. Qantas owns Jetstar and has 44.5 per cent of Jetstar Asia.
