Several days ago I wrote about how Etihad Airways will be cutting Jet Airways operated flights to the US by later this year. Etihad owns a stake in Jet Airways,and for years has been leasing their planes and flying them on select routes.
The problem is that the Jet Airways planes aren't the same quality as Etihad planes. The planes are really worn down and don't feature wifi, unlike the rest of Etihad's longhaul fleet.
I had reported that Etihad would discontinue flying Jet Airways 777-300ER planes on their US routes as of October 30, and 2016,when the following adjustments would occur:-- EY100/101 (between Abu Dhabi and novel York) will be operated by an Etihad 777-300ER rather than a Jet Airways 777-300ER
-- EY182/183 (between Abu Dhabi and San Francisco) will be operated by an Etihad 777-200LR rather than a Jet Airways 777-300ERThe post Etihad Cutting Jet Airways US Flights Earlier Than Expected appeared first on One Mile at a Time.
