Finally some positive news, I found this as well-

MUMBAI, 20th September 2011: Private air carrier Jet Airways on Tuesday said it has received delivery of its first Boeing 737-800 aircraft, which will be inducted in the airline's fleet this month.

The aircraft is the first of the 11 such Boeing 737-800s, whose delivery is expected between October 2011 and March next year, Jet Airways said in a statement.

"The Boeing 737 has been an essential part of our product offering in the past and Jet Airways selected the next generation state-of-the art Boeing 737-800 aircraft because of its high degree of operational flexibility and economy," the company's Chief Commercial Officer Sudheer Raghavan said.

These new Boeing 737-800 aircraft will also possess better economy, given the fact that they will have over one per cent less fuel burn, compared to the airline's fleet of Boeing 737 aircraft.

Jet Airways currently operates a fleet of 98 aircraft, which includes 10 Boeing 777-300 ER aircraft, 12 Airbus A330-200 aircraft, 56 Boeing 737-700/800/900 aircraft and 10 ATR 72-500 turboprop aircraft, it said.
