Jet Airways inks partnership deal with THAI

Jet Airways, India's largest private airline, has formed a commercial partnership with Thai Airways International as part of its strategy to expand its operations with international carriers on a bilateral basis. The Mumbai-based carrier has opted for bilateral arrangements rather than joining global airline alliances such as Star Alliance, Oneworld or Skyteam, which entail complications such as adopting common operation systems.
In addition to THAI, Jet has struck earlier deals with Lufthansa and British Airways.
The Jet-THAI pact essentially allows both airlines to feed passengers to each other on the routes on which they operate.
For instance, passengers on THAI can connect to various domestic Indian cities that it is not serving by using Jet aircraft.
