He established Jetair (Private) Limited in May 1974 to advertise other foreign airlines in India. Jetair eventually expanded to a network of 60 locations.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In April 1989, the Indian government reopened the domestic aviation market to private carriers after three and a half decades of monopoly by Air India and Indian Airlines. In 1991, Goyal founded Jet Airways (India) Private Limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A $20 million investment was made in the start. Naresh Goyal (then located in London) held 60% of Jet Airways through an Isle of Man holding company called Tail Winds, with Gulf Air and Kuwait Airways splitting the remaining 40%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"602\" height=\"425\" src=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Jet-Airways-JRD1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Jet-Airways-JRD1.jpg 602w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Jet-Airways-JRD1-600x424.jpg 600w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Jet-Airways-JRD1-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Jet-Airways-JRD1-120x86.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>On May 5, 1993, Jet Airways began domestic flight operations with four new-generation Boeing 737s. The first flights were to Delhi and Madras, as well as 10 additional locations, from Mumbai (Bombay). (Jet was not the first private airline to fly; that honour belongs to East West Airlines, which began operations in February 1992.) By the end of 1993, Jet Airways hoped to have carried seven million passengers and earned more than $75 million in revenue in its first year (INR 2.4 billion).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To facilitate convenient connections, the timetable was planned with Gulf Air&#8217;s. Gulf Air provided technical and marketing support to the new airline. Ansett Worldwide, an Australian airline, provided engineering support and was the lessor for Jet&#8217;s initial four planes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/jet-airways-history.png.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20301\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/jet-airways-history.png.webp 640w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/jet-airways-history.png-600x450.webp 600w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/jet-airways-history.png-300x225.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Malaysia Airlines System (MAS) offered technical and pilot training as well as maintenance services, while British Airways provided customer service training to cabin crew.
