Superficially, yes. DJIA is at record high and the USDOL unemployment rate is at record low (notwithstanding those who chose not to be included in the labor force).
But, the US economy has high systemic risks and intrinsic structural issues. Not to mention the debt burden.Comment

But not sure how many passengers were arrived and departed at HRI on the FZ flight on the other days . FZ have been operating HRI for past 4 years and currently operating 4 weekly to HRI. Does tourists from Russia visit HRI ?Comment

Guys,
As per Jet Airways Website, Jet Airways flights from Bengaluru going to be at ground in Colombo Airport for 20 hours, effective 16-Jan-2018. What is the reason ? currently Jet Airways operates flights to Colombo from Bengaluru and Mumbai.
I guess Jet Airways is planning add new flights from Colombo which may operate like BLR-CMB-XXX-CMB-BLR.
Flight Schedule effect 16-Jan-2018

@NeatStuff
Thanks for posting the truth. Good to see that there are people on this site who understand what is going on.
Makes a nice change from the usual naivetee/denial/head-in-the-sand mentality that is so widespread in the country and on this site.
Simple summary:- It's someone else's Fault!
Up to now it's one failure after another - how is doing the same thing over and over again going to somehow generate a different outcome?The airline is awaiting Government backing for the new restructuring effort which if approved will be rolled out from second half of the current 2017/18 financial year. This is amidst parallel plans by the Government to seek a strategic investor under a Public-Private Partnership model.
I thought they were all getting fired. I guess that was last month...The new Board of Directors and management team since the election of new Government in 2015 had taken a host of measures to reduce losses as well as improve operational efficiency.
This is why they cannot make money - ever! The rest is just more talk.Detailing on the major challenge of aircraft ordered by the previous management in 2013/14, the CEO said many of the aircraft were unsuitable and all of them were overpriced.
Since the Airline signed a 12 year lease with no termination clause on these aircraft that isn't going to happen - they are going to have to pay! Good luck with that!“Finding solutions for these expensive and unsuitable aircraft continues to be a priority to the airline,” he said, stressing, “any turnaround would be dependent on this issue being resolved.”Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this businessComment
