Hallo zusammen,

 

ich hätte noch folgende ergänzende Info:

 

India's Jagson to go national with A321s

Nicholas Ionides, Singapore (05Jan06, 08:44 GMT, 435 words)

 

Small Indian carrier Jagson Airlines is seeking to become a national operator and plans to add Airbus A320-family aircraft to its fleet of turboprops.

 

President and CEO Uttam Kumar Bose says from Delhi that Jagson aims to add six A320-family aircraft on lease this year and that talks are now starting with lessors. He says he also intends to start negotiations with Airbus over the planned purchase of A321s.

 

“We will launch the services with the Airbus aircraft by April/May,” says Bose. “The initial six for this year will be leased ones and I will start talking to Airbus about purchasing in a few days. We plan to have 19 Airbus aircraft within three years.”

 

Bose adds: “We prefer to have A321s but the initial six this year will be a mix of A320s and A321s because there are not so many A321s for lease. The aircraft we will purchase from Airbus will be A321s.”

 

Publicly traded Jagson hired Bose as its president and CEO last month. He is a former CEO of Air Sahara, having left India’s second-largest privately owned airline around the middle of 2004 to take up another job with parent company Sahara Group.

 

Delhi-based Jagson was established as an air taxi operator in the early 1990s. It currently offers ad hoc charter services as well as regular passenger services mainly to secondary destinations in the north of the country with three Dornier 228s and one helicopter.

 

“We plan to operate to 12 cities this year. We will have services to metro and non-metro [destinations] so we will still have the Dorniers for the non-metros,” says Bose.

 

“It will be a low-cost airline but not so much no-frills” as there will be economy and ‘premium economy’ seating on its Airbus aircraft.

 

Jagson Airlines’ board recently approved a plan to issue new shares to its promoters to help it raise cash for expansion. Directors also approved a plan to increase the paid-up capital of the company to ensure that it qualifies as a scheduled operator. It is currently classified as a non-scheduled operator in part because Indian Government regulations require scheduled operators to have at least five aircraft.

 

The airline is controlled by Indian conglomerate Jagson International. It is one of several new scheduled carriers aiming to launch services this year, the most aggressive of which is planned A320 operator IndiGo.

 

Last year five new scheduled airlines launched services in India on the back of huge growth in passenger demand, namely Air India Express, Go Airlines, Kingfisher, Paramount Airways and SpiceJet, lifting to 12 the number of scheduled airlines operating in the country.
