\"The next step should be a review of product harmonisation between Jet Airways and Air France\".<\/h3>\n

The announcement of a code sharing <\/a>on the five lines operated by Jet Airways<\/strong> and its partner Air France-KLM<\/strong> between Paris and India is just the beginning of the extensive cooperation between the two carriers, as Michel Simiaut, Director France at Jet Airways, explains. The Indian carrier is now applying its code to the Paris-Bangalore, Paris-Delhi and Paris- India routes.Mumbai<\/a> (Mumbai). These flights join the two daily services offered by Jet Airways from CDG to Mumbai and Chennai (Madras).<\/p>\n

\"Michel<\/a>
Michel Simiaut, Head of France, Jet Airways<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For Michel Simiaut<\/strong>In the first nine months of the 2017\/18 financial year, the Group posted an increase of record increases in traffic and sales <\/strong>results that have been further boosted by theenhanced cooperation agreement<\/strong> with Air France-KLM<\/a> in November, even though a joint venture has not yet been authorised by the Indian authorities. \"\u00a0Our revenue per average passenger is up 12%, in particular with the recovery of new corporate and business customers. Business customers were one of our main objectives\", <\/em>explains Michel Simiaut.<\/p>\n

One of the keys to these good results lies in the concentration of all flights<\/strong> -domestic and international - under one roof at Bombay<\/strong>to speed up and simplify transfers.<\/p>\n

Le launch of Madras<\/strong> guarantees genuine coverage of the Indian market: a serious<\/p>\n

an asset for tour operators and business people alike. \"\u00a0Madras is home to many French companies, particularly automotive suppliers, while Bangalore is geared towards the high-tech sector. But business people can arrive and leave India from either platform.\u00a0<\/em>\"says Michel Simiaut.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The airline is one of the few to offer its passengers full equivalence on all its flights with its partners. \"\u00a0Passengers can make a non-stop outward journey between Paris and Bangalore on the code share flight with Air France but choose to return on the non-stop flight we offer to Amsterdam or via Mumbai or Abu Dhabi in partnership with Etihad.\u00a0<\/em>\"he added.<\/p>\n

The multiplication of its offer under the influence of the partnership with Air France-KLM offers the Indian airline a privileged positioning. According to Michel Simiaut, Jet Airways is now the India's leading carrier on the France-India route<\/strong>This position is strengthened by Air France's extensive European network, which connects with Jet Airways flights. \"\u00a0There has been a sharp increase in premium demand from Toulouse, for example, and the Lyon and Marseille markets have performed well.\u00a0<\/em>\"adds Michel Simiaut.<\/p>\n

it would be natural for us to harmonise our in-cabin products with Air France-KLM<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jet Airways and Air France-KLM are already exploring other expansion opportunities, as well as new synergies<\/strong>. \"\u00a0We haven't really discussed this option yet, but it would be natural for us to eventually harmonise our cabin products with Air France-KLM. We offer a three-class product with a First Suite, a business class (Premier) and an economy class.\u00a0<\/em>\"explains Michel Simiaut. \"\u00a0For its part, Air France also offers a three-class product, but divided into a business class, an Economy Premium class and an economy class.<\/em>. Ultimately, we need to be able to offer consistent products to avoid confusion for passengers<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>\"he adds, estimating that \"\u00a0we're going to have to get round the table quickly to find a solution<\/em>\u00a0\".<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
