Jet Airways open for alliance with Air India: Naresh Goyal

Seattle: Outlining an ambitious route expansion agenda for Jet Airways, its chief Naresh Goyal on Sunday said his airline was open for an alliance with state-owned Air India to enhance the market share for Indian carriers from the prevailing 20 to 50 per cent in the next few years.
Noting that cooperative arrangements were needed to increase the market share of Indian carriers in terms of traffic in and out of the country, he told reporters that his company favoured such cooperation with Air India.
Air India has plans to join a major global alliance of airlines and has held advanced level talks with Star Alliance, which has Lufthansa and Singapore Airlines as partners among others.
Goyal was here for the rollout of Boeing's Dreamliner 787 for which Jet Airways has placed an order of ten planes which will start joining the fleet in 2011.
