Sorry if this has been posted before.I did a search but didn't find anything.
Jet Airways will be launching non-stop flights between Delhi and Singapore from 6 September.I think these flights will be operated under a code share agreement between Jet Airways and Qantas.Here's the link:
This flight will be operated by Jet Airways alone and not under a code-share. The article mentions that the aircraft to be used for this route will be a Boeing 737-800.
2006-08-10 15:29 Source : Moneycontrol.com Qantas and India’s premier airline, Jet Airways, have today announced a codeshare arrangement that will expand Qantas’ network within India from 6 September, subject to government approval.
Executive General Manager Qantas Airlines John Borghetti said the codeshare on Jet Airways meant that Qantas now offered a greater than daily frequency between Sydney and Mumbai when combined with the existing Qantas thrice weekly Airbus A330-300 services. In addition, Perth gains a daily codeshare connection to Mumbai.
“India is an important and growing market for Qantas and this partnership with Jet Airways provides us with an opportunity to further develop our business. We will also offer Delhi, a new point on the Qantas network, with daily connections to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth via Singapore. Cairns, Darwin and Adelaide will also benefit with excellent connections,” he said.
“Our customers will travel in Jet Airways’ fleet of two-class Boeing 737-800 aircraft,” Mr Borghetti said.
Jet Airways Chief Executive Officer, Wolfgang Prock-Schauer, said the airline was pleased to partner with Qantas and launch the codeshare service on the Delhi-Singapore and Mumbai-Singapore routes.
“Australia is a popular destination in the Indian market and the codeshare service will offer a seamless experience on the India-Australia route," Mr Prock-Schauer said.
Qantas Frequent Flyer members can earn points on the codeshare services.
The new codeshare services are available for sale from 14 August.
Jet Airways operates more than 320 flights daily to 44 destinations across India and five international destinations including London (Heathrow), Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Colombo and Kathmandu.
Qantas is the world's second oldest airline. It was founded in the Queensland outback in 1920 and is Australia’s largest domestic and international airline. Qantas is recognised as one of the world's leading long distance airlines, having pioneered services from Australia to North America and Europe. The Qantas Group employs approximately 38,000 staff across a network that spans 142 destinations (including codeshare services) in Australia, Asia, the Pacific, the Americas, Europe and Africa.
Is there a difference between the term code-share and patners because more than a year back i had noticed an ad in their webite [9W] that " Fly with our Patners- Qantas and Gulf Air"

The most possible difference which seems to be is that incase of a codeshare u can have ur luggage checked in all the way uptill australia or india plus ur boarding passes issued uptill ur final destination. While incase of a partner airline though ur luggage can be checked in because u have an interline agreement u need to get ur boarding card from ur transit point.
In a codeshare cvertain percentage of seats on the service can be sold by the airline with which u can enter into codeshare.
S2 has a codeshare with AA so they can sell certain amt seats on their ticketing stock with their flight no....
Jesus christ again 737-800,s how on earth qantas expects to break the market from SQ thru these small puny planes... I hope A332 come soon and are deployed on these routes soon.
