• 9W NEVER ANTICIPATED THE LEVEL OF COMPETITION THAT THEY WOULD

PROFIT TO THIRD PARTIES SUCH AS THAI AIRWAYS & TURKISH

• THE PARTNERSHIP WITH EITHIAD AIRWAYS HADN’T SUPPORTED
MUCH TO THEIR FINANCIAL POSITION AS AT THE SAME TIME FUEL
PRICES RISES GLOBALLY.
• THE JOINT VENTURE WITH AIR FRANCE- KLM FOR INDIA-US
MARKET HADN’T BENIFTTED MUCH DUE TO LIMITED CHUNK OF
MARKET.
• THE MULTITUDE OF LEADERSHIP CHANGES AT TOP LEVEL &
IGNORING THE EXPERTS ADVICE AND MORE IMPORTANTLY WRONG
INTERPRETATION BY NARESH GOYAL AND TAKING ALL MAJOR
DECISION BY HIMSELF.
OTHER SHORT TERM CAUSES:-

• HIGH MAINTAINENCE COSTS OF AIRCRAFT AS JET AIRWAYS HAD OLD
FLEET WITH AVERAGE AGE AROUND 4.79 YEARS.

TO THE CUSTOMERS IN LOW PRICE DESPITE OF STRUGGLING WITH
HUGE LOSSES AND DEBT.
• CONTROLLING THE ENTIRE MANAGEMENT INCLUDING THE ACCOUNT
STATEMENT i.e. CASH INFLOWS-OUTFLOWS BY NARESH GOYAL ITSELF.
• VARIOUS ALLEGATIONS ALSO STATE THAT NARESH GOYAL WAS
INTERESTED IN GENERATING HIS OWN REVENUE FROM LAST FEW YEARS.
