“The company has been exploring this option and is also in talks with US domestic airline Delta to provide connections within that country,” said a company executive and added that the proposal is on the drawing board. The New-Delhi-New York flight may be launched by 2011-end or 2012.
Jet Airways has a code share agreement with American Airlines which operates a non-stop daily flight Chicago-New Delhi. Last year, it entered into a code share agreement with United Airline that operates flights between London and Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington.
However, the airline is likely to receive a stiff competition from Air India, which operates non-stop.
