[edit] Operations

It is being mentioned in the operations that after Chennai - Colombo, two routes Delhi - Kathmandu and Mumbai - Colombo were added. I am sure abt the Del Ktm route but Mumbai - Colombo... To my thinking it was Mumbai - Singapore. Can some one comment on that.

Secondly its being mentioned that 9W was the first private carrier to go international. Again to my knowledge It was Air Sahara Chennai - Colombo which was the first and not 9W.

Comments please..! Boeing737 21:10, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Primary Hub

Took Delhi out from the Primary Hub. Actually Mumbai is the Primary Hub and Maintenance Base. Apart from this Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai,Pune and Bangalore are the Secondary Hubs.

Hence the correction reflects the same. Boeing737 21:10, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Non representative skin colour used in Jet Airways adverts

Is it just me or in the current Jet Airways website, do the staff look unusually light in colour? Surely this skin tone is not representative of the whole of India! 194.83.140.43 19:31, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

What, according to yourself, is a so-called "representative" skin colour for the whole of India, given the fact that the country is home to all shades of skin colour from the deepest brown to the fairest "white" complexions, depending on which parts of India and what ethnic groups among India's vast and diverse population you refer to. Let's also keep in mind that this (="unity in diversity") is something almost totally unrivalled by any other country in the world before passing such generalised comments. Regarding the actual advert that seems to offend you as being "unrepresentative of India as a whole", this is nothing unusual among many commercial Indian ads I happened to come across because they seem to be based on an "over-idealised", predominantly male Indian beauty concept that accords the highest status to female complexions that appear to be whiter than many white Europeans. Just look at the complexions of all our cine heroines, not just the Bollywood types but those acting in Tamil/Telugu and other Indian vernacular movies as well!

[edit] NPOV

This article is unabashedly written by the airline itself! This is NOT what wikipedia is there for. Can we rectify? How about starting with how the airline was set up and current tangles of its Chair/Owner Naresh Goyal? Autumnleaf 16:12, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV

Definitely agree with Autumnleaf. This reads like a brochure of Jet Airways. I think the whole page should be removed or re-written. As is normal there are no sources other than company brochures and hence this page should be removed.

Accordingly I have removed the two sections that were the most obviously biased. --Deepak23 11:14, 22 October 2005 (UTC) Deepak23

Great! We can all be patriots here. JET is a phenomenon - but we don't help our case if we don't exercise neutrality and balance in talking about our successes. I think it would be fair to bring in stuff about what the Indian Government alleges about the Daoud Ibrahim and Dubai underworld connections - this is front page newspaper material in public knowledge. Also the unusual fact of the apparent proprietor/shareholder Naresh Goyal being a German citizen. But we also need to find the dates for awards and have data about its market position. Autumnleaf 20:09, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

I reverted attempt to remove NPOV tag. Having just googled to refresh my memory I think that the page does not reflect the balance of views about the airline. There should be a huge page about this guys! Meanwhile as it stands it still has information which should not appear on Wiki - which is not an adjunct to a company website after all. I made a few edits neverthelessAutumnleaf 15:51, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] What to keep in?

I think this needs to be reverted to a stub. I am going to delete some of this turgid industry data (a category I put in as a bin for the awful technical data!) unless I hear objections. Bye! Autumnleaf 22:12, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Do not include promotional or hagiological material.

I have noted that an anonymous editor has been posting links which are wholly promotional of Jet. Such purely partisan edits only brings disrepute to the subject matter and makes us suspicious that employees or friends of the airline are treating Wikipedia as a puff page. Also in future please sign in with four tildes which look like this ~ ~ ~ ~. This extends to the person who took the trouble of going to my discussion page to take issue with my edits - who also asked me to use the discussion pages; ironic. Perhaps this person would care to sign in here. Autumnleaf 19:33, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV

There is too much data about Jet's promotional offers and frequent-flier vouchers. A comparatively small airline like this shouldn't get more than a stub.Gyan guru, 0431hrs GMT, 28 December 2005

I think its time to remove the NPOV--PlaneMad 12:36, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Controversy not resolved; sources for information

I have reinstated the material about US investigations as these have not reached a conclusion. Also - has been bugging me that the page still looks like a bulletin board for the airline. We also need sources for 'plans to fly to etc' so I finally removed that bit. I propose deleting all this stuff about number of aircraft and orders... it is not something other like pages have. Autumnleaf 12:41, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

dont understand why the page looks like a bulletin board for the airline, seems fine to me. I beleive that aircraft orders should stay as it gives the reader an idea of the airline's future potential, but i think we can tone down on the fine details like A330s instead of A330-200 etc --PlaneMad 17:35, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 777

I read they have ordered the 777-200LR, not the 300ER.--Arado 16:08, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

They have ordered the 77W. Not the 77L! FlyAirCanada 19:24, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dual Citizenship?

I am a dual US and German Citizen, therefore I am not so sure about Germany not allowing dual citizenship. Does that mean just with India? Seems a bit ambiguous. 158.143.185.5 13:07, 10 May 2007 (UTC)Calvin

Until recently India did not permit Dual Citizenship. Now it does. However, Pakistan and Bangladeshi nationals cannot avail the Indian Dual Citizenship due to security concerns. 59.92.68.125 (talk) 21:45, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Jet-Airways-Logo new.gif

Image:Jet-Airways-Logo new.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 07:13, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Unveiling its plans for the newly created hub at Brussels, Jet Airways said it would operate five flights a day from India to the Belgian capital and provide seamless connections for onward journeys to the US and Canada. In addition, the hub will give the airline access to the whole of Europe. That's a good strategy to set a hub at Brussels and i think Jet Airways should begin staffing its Brussels base with company personnel. It would be good if Indian cabin crew are based at Brussels for those new flights to us and canada.

[edit] Why is this article uncategorized?

I see that this article already has the following tags-

[Category:Airlines of India] [Category:IATA members] [Category:Airlines established in 1992] [Category:Companies based in Mumbai]

So, why is this still called an uncategorized article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by SouvikSinha (talk • contribs) 05:52, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Airline fleet

Sorry, I had to remove the airline fleet template - having it on the page meant that the categories from the Jet Airways fleet article were included in the categories of this article - which led to confusion when trying to work out why this page was flagged as uncategorised, when it had categories and didn't have an uncategorised tag ! :-) CultureDrone (talk) 20:10, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
