Abu Dhabi to be Jet's hub after deal with Etihad | Business Standard

Abu Dhabi to be Jet's hub after deal with Etihad | Business Standard:

"In what might impact Jet Airways’ operations out of its present hub in Brussels (Belgium), the Indian airline would have to develop Abu Dhabi as an exclusive hub for flights to North America, South America, Africa and the United Arab Emirates (‘exclusive territories’), according to the final commercial cooperation agreement (CCA) signed with Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways.

Canada would be included in the list of ‘exclusive territories’ once relevant amendments are made to the bilateral air services agreements to permit Jet to fly to Toronto via Abu Dhabi. Jet currently flies to New York and Toronto via its hub in Brussels.

A copy of the CCA has been reviewed by Business Standard. It additionally states Jet would have to route its services from India to Sharjah and Dubai through Abu Dhabi, as soon as it becomes economically viable. However, exceptions can be made, allowing Jet to continue non-stop operations between India and destinations in the ‘exclusive territories’, if Etihad agrees this would be economically viable."
