March'09 - 3 ex MEA ILFC
Yes, and when are the Jet Airways ones coming, I think that was the question regarding wet lease?

As per the Aerotransport.org database, one new 332 is due for delivery to Jet in December. Might well be, that GF gets this new bird through the wet-lease.

Okay, dry lease is good news. That means 4-6 330's heading over before mid 2009. Interesting times ahead indeed.

Nothing definate until you are sitting in them.....

However, before everyone goes off the rails speculating on who is going to fly what and when, just remember that they want to get rid of some, if not all of the old bangers and hangar queens....

Checked from the horses' mouth:
Wet Leases:
  • Two A330s from Jet Airways on Wet lease, starting ASAP, and continuing for a few months.
  • Could be followed by another 2 A330s, also from Jet, and also on Wet Lease.
  • Negotiations for some airplanes (could be any wide body) to replace our A340s in days to come. Must be good for long haul. Intially on Wet Lease, followed by Dry lease, when we have trained the crews.

Dry Leases:
  • Four A330s in the second quarter of 2009.
  • Some number of A320s to replace the current ones.

E. & O.E.

The ASAP is already here!
Check the AIMS for flights to KUL - they are with Jet Airways aeroplanes!

New phrase: Jet on Wet !!!

Hey,

Can you supply the registrations? I am just interested as no Jet bird was seen in BAH.

Regards,

P.S: If the deal goes through, it means GF will have for the first time an A330 that is not RR powered engine which sucks

EDIT: This is not the first time GF leases from Jet, they had an A340 running BAH-ATH 2-3 years ago.
