In calendar year 2008. there was turbulence in the air as Jet Airways’ Chairman pondered what course of action the airline should take. Air India was also struggling with the same dilemma: Two of India’s largest airlines, Air India and Jet Airways, had sounded caution on their fiscal health due to mount‘operational costs, A daily operational loss of $2 million (Rs 86 crore) had in fact forced Jet Airways to put its employees on alert, Jet’s senior General Manager had termed the situation as grave, Jet’s current losses were §2 million a day (ineluding Jet-Lite). The current rate of Jet Airways’ domestic losses was $0.5 million (Rs 2.15 crore) and that of JulLite was snother $0.5 million, Taternational business was losing over §1 million (Rs 4.30 crore) a day. “The situation was equally grave for other national carriers. Driven’ by siounting losses of almost Rs 10 crore a day, Air Indio, in its merged avatar, was considering severe cost-culling meanures like slashing employee allowances, reducing in-flight catering expenses on short-haul flights and restructuring functional arms.

Consequently, passenger load had fallen th an average 55-60% per flight from previous year’s peak of 70-75%. Other airlines faced a similar situation: some were even looking for buyers. Domestic carriers hed lost about Rs 4,000 erore in 2007-08 with Air Tndia leading the pack. “As against 27% wage bill globally, our wage bills 22% of total input casts, Even then we ace at a loss, an Air India official said, Civil aviation ministry, however, had a different take. “Air India engineers gp to Dubai every fortnight to work for 15 days andl stay in five star hotels, If they are stationed there the-airline would save Ry & crore a year. This is just the lip of the ideberg. There are several things we ¢an do to recince operational inefficiency”.
