Sahara widebody at BOM
Permalink Closed

Hey Guys,


While travelling to work today, I spotted an Air Sahara widebody parked inside a hangar to the south of runway 09-27 (i.e. on your right if you are on W.E. Highway and facing the runway). I have a couple of questions here:


Which aircraft was this? The Sahara 767?


Which hangar was this parked in? The Jet hangar or a separate Sahara hangar??

If its the Air Sahara 767, it is being repainted hurriedly to be handed back to Air Sahara. Air Sahara intends to launch its own serive to London with this jet.

Sahara move may ground Jet's plans
[ Saturday, June 24, 2006 02:58:50 amTIMES NEWS NETWORK ]
 
 
NEW DELHI: The dogfight in the Indian skies turned nastier on Thursday. Within hours of the Rs 2,300 crore Jet-Sahara airline merger falling apart, the Subrata Roy-led Air Sahara wrote to the government seeking to terminate their wide-body aircraft lease agreement which now threatens to jeopardise Jet's ambitious plan to expand services to London.


Even as this corporate battle rages, the two airlines are now preparing for a no-holds-barred courtroom battle. Both sides have also lined up a battery of lawyers with noted advocate Harish Salve leading the Air Sahara team and Fali S Nariman appearing for Jet for a face-off in the Lucknow district court on Friday.


Besides, they separately moved court again on Thursday seeking a hearing before any plea filed by the other is admitted.


With Jet having refused to extend its share-purchase agreement beyond midnight on Wednesday, the Sahara India management took charge of their airline business and started operations on its own.


"We have also written to the DGCA stating that our wet-lease agreement with Jet for the Boeing 767 wide-body aircraft should not be endorsed. We hope to get this plane back into our fleet soon and restart our London service, which was discontinued by Jet in August this year,"Air Sahara president Alok Sharma told TOI.
