So it is definetely 3 A330s from MEA and 4 A330s from Jet?

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....

Two from Jet on Wet for 3 mos, then Dry. Starting in a week.

Propellor

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.

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.

Chill man!!..nobody was "dismissed 767 fleet"(whatever that is) most airline people would know what "RR powered" aircraft meant..and that was his point..

Jet is doing KUL tonight. All prime layovers(kul,bkk,Lhr) will be gone to jet till march.But the good news is all DEL,ISB,BOM,CCU turn arounds will stay with GF pilots.Mr Ant...ne really loves us.

Mephistopheles

Don't get me wrong, I have just as little respect for that piece of crap Antoine but in this case I can see why they would want the Jet 330s on the routes with more premium pax since their cabins are infinately better than ours.
Just checked AIMS & it seems that it's not wet leased since our guys are operating Kul tonight. Don't know how that works since none of us have even been given a handout regarding the differences.

Radar Contact

Today's KUL is A340 so I have no idea where you got the info from

Mephistopheles

Hope your not in the flight deck with us RadarC since you can't even read your AIMS correctly.
GF280 A333 VT-JWD

Not too small

what is wrong nobody can read or the aims is driving us crazy like management .
now it shows reg VTJWD and its 333
and its CAPT M Salman GF pilot.
nobody knows wht the hell is going on.

Sultan85

from the AIMS : 333 = A330-300 wich as almost the same size of our A340-300 with 2 burners.

Che Guevara

Well I guess the AIMS is wrong....(wouldn't be the first time nor the last) None of us have validations to operate an Indian registered aircraft, and none of us have done a differences course for the 333, therfore it would be the 'wet leased' crew operating then....assuming the aircraft is here, or maybe they are hedging their bets...

VT-JWD is an A330-243 so AIMS is WRONG again.

VTJWD did not arrive Bahrain soil yet and it's an RR engine for SilveR5
