The Downfall of Jet Airways 

This was my favorite airline. They always took care of their passengers and the crew was always friendly. I wish Daniel could've made a review before it went bankrupt

One of the best in Indian aviation. Jet was always a class apart from any other carriers at their time. Their classiness was matched only by King fisher and to an extent paramount airways.

Jet Airways always had the best livery out of all indian airlines

POV: You're here after they announced they're coming back

It’d be pretty cool to see “The fall of Thomas Cook”.

I loved flying on board Jet airways. I was never actually able to understand what led to the downfall of this giant Indian airline... thanks nonstop Dan for explaining... You hda also explained in your other of Ethiad how it bought significant of jet airways and also had a downfall. Your work is really amazing and I hope to see you grow into a big channel like Delta Airways 😉

I flew with jet airways couple of times from Delhi to Bangalore and back with family. It was quite memorable experience everytime. Food offered on board was pretty delicious. I enjoyed food only on jet airways and in Vistara too.

East West Airlines was India’s first private airline. :)

I took a flight in 2019 with jet airways, later to find out that it would be one of the last flights jet airways had.

Jet Airways for a long time has been my personal favorite airliner in India...hope to see them back in the skies

I did find this very interesting...it made me upset to hear what had happened to Jet Airways...I could relate to what has happened to the airline...it was very informative about what happened...I am very excited to hear what's next😄

Really loved travelling with jet it’s a shame the govt helped air India which is 💩 but didn’t do anything to save Jet.

Funny how you say: downfall started in 2007 ... that’s the year I joined the company at Brussels Airport. Untill they left BRU, we had a blast servicing all 9W passengers. I will never forget our early mornings 777 sunrise landings ☺️ @aviationeva

Finally, was waiting for this

Kind of crazy timing with this video. I spotted one of their 777’s stop for fuel one night at my local US airport then got up early this morning to watch it depart. It was it’s last flight as it is getting scrapped.

I remember seeing jet airways written all over the scheduled flights board when I was small ,thankfully that may happen again

0:02 correction: The first private airline in India is East West Airline[currently not operating]. Not Jet Airways. Informative video tho💯! @azeez_.dhnz

Man I've always loved them. They were my Gs. We used them so much to fly to India.

Jet was almost a low-cost international carrier by 2017. My experience flying from Mumbai to Delhi was horrible: cramped seats, no meals, and average overall service. When the airline shut, there were rumors that Goyal was paid by a certain middle eastern airline to ensure jet went bankrupt to ensure more slots and business for the middle eastern carrier.

This was amazing Dan!

Was waiting for it from a long time.Great thing is that when I thought that why didn’t the video upload, exactly at that time the video uploaded.

Wow! The Hanger you showed in the video was where I worked in 2012. Nice memories...

Jet Airways and Kingfisher were the best in class. Miss flying with these airlines.

I watched this on my lunch break(: it’s very interested

The issue of Aviation in India is a loop. People here in India don't prefer to travel in Indian Flights due to bad condition, service, flight destinations. That makes the operators to cut cost to lure people. Since they cut cost they also cut the service provided, destination flown and other conditions. Either ways, it affects one another. Another issue is Low Cost Carrier which has significantly affected air travel and made full service airlines cut cost as well as service. And then there are some bad decisions from the company too.

Very informative video. Keep up the good work.

Amazingly Informative!!

It's extremely sad to see the demise of such a wonderful airline.. however, my feelings towards the end kind of changed. Kingfisher and Jet which once seemed to be untouchable at the helm were comfortably dethroned and put to place by low cost airlines through a consumer driven market. The two words that instantly pop up in my head after watching the video are: 1) (Demise of) Capitalism 2) (Power of) Consumer (driven market) IG: @irohaanambre

Dan You have really changed the level aviation awareness. Keep on going mate, you are doing an excellent job. Hats Off

Top quality, great visuals and now I want more @outdoorcollege

great educational videos. these are the best ones!

Two words: Very Informative. Seriously though, I remember when Etihad invested in them and even flew on a "Jetihad" plane once! Fascinating look at their downfall. I hope you continue this series! Maybe you can do Thomas Cook next? @adventurousness

Yess! I love these new types of videos Dan, keep them going pls!

Jet Airways is the plainest airline name I’ve ever heard.

@thelivvielou thought provoking and elegantly edited :) love your content you make my days so much more interesting!!

Finally, since i saw your last video and subscribed, I've been waiting for this video.

Haven’t watched it yet,but am Sure it’s gonna be great!!!!

Once my family went back to India to visit family but mostly to travel within the country and the budget airline we chose went bankrupt while we were on the trip and started cutting back on already-scheduled flights. We were like :) guess we're stranded now :)

Hey Dan great and a very informative video. Would you please look into PIA as a case study as well and do a video

I wasn’t aware of the Jet Airways situation. Thanks for an informative video!

‘Cause I'm leavin' on a JET plane Don't know when I'll be back again 😔 Feels like this song was made for this IG: @iam.dkc

Another excellent video. I guess I’m too late for the competition 😔

Crazy to not have them in our skies anymore !! ✈️✈️

Can you do the downfall of Interjet?

FINALLY MAN WAITED FOREVER

Fascinating I didn’t realise how large and hard the Indian Aviation industry was/is @ryanpugh05

But recently I think some two years back I heard that all the staff and crew members are given chance to become share holders and they were ready to contribute themselves then what happened? But once I had a bad impression from jet airways at mumbay airport check-in counter on 2002 asking me to pay air insurance if I had to board the flight for trivandrum as I and my luggage was booked and confirmed from dubai itself upto trivandrum and at the check-in counter I was told that my booking was not found and I was almost felt lost in mumbai and likely I had enough cash otherwise what would I do? And one other thing I want to tell naresh goyal is if he is thinking to start and come up again and about other states I don't know but here in all over kerala from trivandrum there are some people like me who are interested in aviation are ready to work with jet airways. But they may be middle aged or may be over middle age but ready to work and willing to work but naresh goyal or those who are advising naresh should leave out this age cyche which conpany owners establishment owners and managers are doing. Because they are all age cyches who thinks that only young people are healthy and willing to work and not others.These company and establishment owners and managers all over from india and may be from abroard are all so educated and well educated coming from big bosting institutions but from the least they all have to the beggars on streets to realise themselves and other human beings and that is why unemployment and depression among people are large in this country.

@thenonstopdan my instagram is fsanteira. Dan this was a surprise to me I always compared Jet airways with Etihad. Well both have a disastrous management at least lol. Can you do one of these videos for latam?

Well as it turns out, waiting for this phenomenon video from lot longer. Instagram : vedant__7 (Vedant Agrawal).

This airline company made every passenger feel like home. I remember when i was a little kid and i would cry in board they would hand me chocolates and a jet airways personalized colouring sheet with crayons ! Ig @_nehaprasad

The “best private” airline in India, I miss it. IG: @insanejojo

Quality content, Awesome research, Well narrated, Good insight My ig- arjunormous_d P.s if I get the airpods I'll inagurate them with that sweet Etihad boarding music

I really want to see a video on the history, current situation and what you think of the future of indigo

I loved jet airways it was one of the best airlines I've traveled! Good food, Good AirCrew, Good Hospitality and lots of other good things... sad to see it go like that :(

Two or (few) words - The video should have come out in November 2019, missed the bus with more than a year.

Jet Airways was providing great service

Really Awesome content!!! Eagerly waiting for more such educating stories and perspectives from your end. My inst handle is k123_kumar.

A very unique and curious story. You did a fantastic job! _rayyansayed

Two words to describe the video. “Jet Stopways!” Stopway is a part of runway where an aircraft can come to a stop. Thought it was poetic. My IG: sam320_

Two words used to described this video: Quality & Well-researched. Well done Dan, always love your content. @hoang.khoaaa

“Joy of flying” - Jet Airways Slogan, more like “Joy of immense debt, a grounded fleet, questionable management and bad route planning” @krishnachaibezawada (IG)

first :)

Update: The airline is back.

Amazing Series of Video, based on Quality, Information, and of-course Dan. @ne_et10

@nonstopdan could you do one of these videos for AirItaly

My favourite airline is Jet Airways during its time. I rate it a five star airline. Sad to know of its downfall : it was like a bad nosedive for the airline. Hope the Airline resurrect again some day some year.

I was under the impression that Air india was privatized last year? is that not correct?

Jet Airways was the first wide body I flew and my first even long haul flight back in 2010 London to Delhi. From what I remember the service was good, but it might all be rose tinted glasses.

Great video 📷📸!Very informative! Can you do one on the rise and fall of People Express?

Loved it 👍🏻

Top quality, great visuals and I want more @outdoorcollege

There's an update. The Airline might come back. A consortium has won the bid to acquire the airline and there are ongoing talks with airline regulatory body for slots. Next hearing with bankruptcy court is on 5th April. If they get approval, Jet Airways will be back from August or so.

Another thing you forgot to mention was the purchase of 10 B777-300ERs in 2005 which was the main reason behind accumulation of the debt. They simply didn't have any justification in the Indian market and the airline struggled to even find proper routes for those aircraft . Thus , many times you might have seen them flying for Etihad etc. Moreover, those aircraft could not fly non stop from India to US which was a severe competitive disadvantage for Jet. At a time when Delta, Continental(pre merger) , and Air India were flying non stop , Jet Airways had to fly via Brussels.

Informative 👍

This is amazingly informative.

Im here end of October 2020, every single airline is struggling to survive, all these coronavirus restrictions have slaughtered air travel...

Amazing, very interesting and now I want more @top_droneshots

Top quality, great visuals and now I want more @outdoorcollegeTop quality, great visuals and now I want more @outdoorcollege

I really miss seeing Jet Airways at Schiphol :(

Very informative

11:09 Meanwhile in 2020 Greater Bay Airlines is applying to fly 100 new routes

@thelivvielou thought provoking and elegantly edited :)

I worked with East West Airlines in the 90's as a supplier. It collapsed after the MD was shot dead by a Mumbai criminal gang. There were some allegations floating around at the time. East West Airlines were the first scheduled private airline in the country that was launched as soon as the Indian economy opened. I see you skipped over the dodgy rivalry with EWA at the very beginning!!!! I would too :)

They also had a rule regarding cabin crew wrt their height. Their crew looked like models, combine that with their uniform. Their acquisition of Sahara airlines essentially ruined it

Jet was my first flight journey and feel bad for them

Airline that does not respect the passenger has TO GO.... as an international traveler GLAD TO SEE THEY VANISH

I went on jet airlines from Heathrow London when I was like 5yrs old 🙂

This was informative

I am sorry to see how so many of the Airlines failed in India. Even Indian Airlines is struggling. India has a very big passenger market but it has to be captured in a very tricky way.

Great and very edifying

Excellent analysis.

Very sad. They had very helpful crew members. Hope Jet Airways will be back.

Is the giveaway announced

in 2015 me and my family went by jet airways to Singapore

I was an ex-Jet Airways employee, yes the video presentation was good.

Clear and Concise @private Eye

Amazing, very interesting and well produced @top_droneshots
