The largest Airlines in India, Jet Airways has been requested by the alliance of Air France, Delta Airlines and Alitalia to join their cross Atlantic Joint venture towards better and closer cooperation among the four airlines. All the Atlantic airlines have seen a reduced market both internationally and in their home turf, thereby forcing a rethink on strategy on their part. Jet Airways at present remains non-committal about any such plans though the cooperation can go a long way in collaboration among the airlines in terms of Code shares, common Customer reward programs as well as using each other facilities in different countries.
Jet Airways is in an expansion mode and any such alliance would help cost effective toward the expansion strategy. This also becomes relevant as Jet Airways is seeking inclusion in the SkyTeam Alliance even as its rivals such as Air India plan to Join Star alliance and Kingfisher to the Oneworld alliance. Jet Airways is the largest airlines in India in terms of market cap and is also in expansion mode offering flights to cities such as Cairo, Dhaka, Jakarta, Manila and others.
