Jet Airways, Kingfisher Airlines

Jet Airways and Kingfisher Airlines are entering a radical partnering alliance they declare is necessary for the viability of India's domestic air transport market. Jet and Kingfisher are the country's two largest airline groups, together accounting for around 60% of domestic market share. They have been bitter rivals, but last week they announced a wide-ranging partnership that will see them codesharing on domestic and international flights as well as interlining. They have also agreed to jointly manage fuel purchases, join forces in ground handling, integrate and rationalise their respective networks, link frequent flyer programmes and share flightcrews. Until a few months ago such a partnership would have been unthinkable. Jet is owned by billionaire Naresh Goyal while Kingfisher is controlled by another billionaire, Vijay Mallya, and the two have not been on friendly terms.

Qantas Airways

Qantas yesterday launched A380 service to the US West Coast when its inaugural Melbourne-Los Angeles flight, QF93, departed Australia at 11:15 a.m. local time and landed at LAX at around 7:30 a.m. QF94 was scheduled to depart LAX late last night. Qantas will operate its first Sydney-LAX A380 flight Friday and it said using the A380 on routes to the US is "a mark of its commitment to growing the transpacific market." It currently offers 47 weekly flights to the US.
