Jet Airways (India) Ltd. Company History and Annual Growth Details

Jet Airways was incorporated on April 1, 1992 as a private company with limited liability under the Companies Act. We commenced operations as an Air Taxi Operator on May 5, 1993 with a fleet of four leased Boeing 737 aircraft. We were granted scheduled airline status on January 14, 1995. Jet Airways became a deemed public company on July 1, 1996. On January 19, 2001, Jet Airways was reconverted into a private company. Jet Airways became a public company on December 28, 2004.

At the time of incorporation of the Company, our shareholders were Mr. P.V.V. Chalam and Mrs. Anita Goyal. These shares were transferred to Tail Winds on May 12, 1994, and Mr. Naresh Goyal holds them on behalf of Tail Winds in terms of an RBI approval letter No. EC.BY.CO (S) 250/2251/TS/93/94 dated December 30, 1993.

Pursuant to an application dated March 12, 1993 made by our Company, the FIPB by its letter No. 267/FC/93/NRI dated June 28, 1993 granted its approval to the foreign collabouration proposal for investment in Tail Winds in the proportion of 60% by Mr. Naresh Goyal, 20% by Gulf Air and 20% by Kuwait Airways. Tail Winds in turn held 100% of the Equity Share capital of our Company.

The MoCA by its letter dated April 17, 1997 directed the Company to take steps for disinvestment of Equity Shares held, directly or indirectly, by foreign airlines pursuant to the Government of India's policy on foreign equity and NRI/OCB equity participation in the domestic air transport services sector. Consequently, with effect from October 15, 1997, Mr. Naresh Goyal acquired the 20% Equity Shares from each of Gulf Air and Kuwait Airways, respectively, and became the 100% owner of Tail Winds which is an NRI/OCB and currently owns over 99.99% of our Equity Share capital.

We currently provide regular scheduled services to 42 destinations in India and two destinations outside India, operating 1,924 flights weekly. Our aircraft fleet has grown from four aircraft in 1993 to currently 42 aircraft comprising 34 Boeing 737 aircraft and eight ATR 72-500 aircraft.
