HISTORY

 

Subject was incorporated on 1st April, 1992 at Mumbai in Maharashtra having Company Registration Number 66213 as a private limited company under the Companies Act, 1956. the Company became a deemed public limited company on 1st July, 1996 and was converted into a private limited company on 19th January, 2001. The company became a public limited company on 28th December, 2004.

 

Subject commences the operations as an Air Taxi Operator on 5th May, 1993 with a fleet of four leased Boeing 737 aircraft. They were granted scheduled airline status on 14th January, 1995.

 

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

Its aircraft fleet has grown from four aircraft in 1993 to currently 42 aircraft comprising 34 Boeing 737 aircraft and eight ATR 72-500 aircraft. They have also accepted delivery of one additional Boeing 737-800 aircraft, which will be included in to services after it is refurbishing and upon receipt by them of final DGCA approval to operate the aircraft.

 

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

 

During the year, the Company continued to have a tight control on the costs which resulted in their unit costs (excluding aviation turbine fuel) being lower as compared to the previous financial year. While they may not be able to impact external factors, their relentless focus remains on improving efficiencies and productivity in their operations. Airlines across the world have been impacted by the increase in the aviation turbine fuel prices and Jet Airways is no exception. Though they would have liked to pass on more of the fuel price increases to their customers, it was not possible to do so in the short term.

 

Their focus has also been to improve their operational metrics including the on-time performance of their flights. Their efforts in this regard have ensured that they have been consistently bettering ourselves and have been the industry leaders in terms of on-time performance. Also, their International growth and seat factors continue to improve constantly which is a testimony to the growing emergence of the airline, as the preferred choice for guests to and from the Indian subcontinent. The benefits of these measures have translated in the Company consolidating its leadership position with a market share of 26.1% during the year.

 

The Indian aviation market continued its growth during the year at a steady pace. The growth of the Indian economy was a major trigger and the aviation market has been growing at a healthy 2 times multiple of the GDP growth. Over the next few years, they expect the domestic aviation market to grow at around 15% per annum and this has also been supported by various studies and analysis carried out by independent agencies like IATA, CAPA, etc. However, they believe that both the domestic and international markets will remain competitive given that there is currently some over capacity in both markets.

 

Domestic passenger traffic for the year, reported a 21% growth as compared to the same period last year while international passenger traffic registered an increase of 23.8%. The Company ended the financial year with revenues of Rs.129510.400 millions, an increase of 21.9% versus last year, with a system-wide seat factor of 75.1% on the domestic and 80.4% on the international sectors.

 

The Company carried 14.670 millions revenue passengers on its international and domestic services during the year, up from 12.040 millions in the previous financial year.

 

They strengthened their presence in the low fare / low cost space and their ‘Jet Airways Konnect’ and ‘Jet Airways Konnect Select’ products have been widely accepted by their guests. For the financial year ended 31st March, 2011, their capacity on Jet Airways Konnect services formed 59% of their overall domestic capacity in terms of number of seats.

 

The Company also benefited from the strategic expansion of its domestic and international service network. They now serve 23 international destinations, which include the addition of a non-stop service between Mumbai and Johannesburg and a Delhi Milan service. The international business has now posted several consecutive quarters of consistent growth in terms of seat factor of above 80% and increase in the capacity in terms of Available Seat Kilometers reflecting the growing impact of their network synergies, major strategic international code shares and customer centric product and service focus.

 

Fleet

 

The Company currently operates a fleet of 97 aircraft, which includes 10 Boeing 777-300 ER aircraft, 12 Airbus A330-200 aircraft, 55 Next Generation Boeing 737-700/800/900 aircraft and 20 modern ATR 72-500 Turboprop aircraft. With an average age of 5.15 years, the airline has one of the youngest aircraft fleet in the world.

 

Of the 10 B777-300ER aircraft, 7 aircraft have been sub-leased as follows:

 

• In 2009, 4 aircraft were sub-leased to Turkish Airlines Inc. (“TK”) for a period of 25 months. The lease in respect of these four aircraft expires between the months of July and November 2011.

 

• In 2010, 3 aircraft were sub-leased to Thai Airways Public Company Limited (“Thai Airways”) for a period of 36 months. The lease in respect of these three aircraft expires in May 2013.

 

In view of the planned level of operations and the fleet size, the Company proposes to deploy 2 of the 4 aircraft being redelivered by TK later this year, for its own operations. The remaining 2 aircraft being redelivered by TK are being sub (dry) leased to Thai Airways for a period of 2 years, with an option to extend the lease by a further period of 1 year.

 

Flights to 71 destinations span the length and breadth of India and beyond, including New York (both JFK and Newark), Toronto, Brussels, London (Heathrow), Milan, Johannesburg, Hong Kong, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Colombo, Bangkok, Kathmandu, Dhaka, Kuwait, Bahrain, Muscat, Doha, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Jeddah, Sharjah, Riyadh and Dammam.

 

Jet Airways Konnect service operates on key domestic routes and is designed to meet the needs of the low-fare segment with value-for-money fares. Jet Airways Konnect links seven major metros - Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and Kolkata – with several destinations across India, operating over 170 flights daily. Jet Airways Konnect Select is a premium economy product introduced on certain Jet Airways Konnect flights.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Industry Structure and Development

 

The aviation industry has emerged out of the global financial crisis at a steady pace and on the back of this, Indian aviation industry has also shown high growth rates over the last few quarters. Though there are airlines who are still reporting substantial losses in the Indian context, the general trend has been an upward one.

 

With significant capacity rationalisation in the domestic aviation sector in the last two years and strong passenger growth, capacity increase is well aligned to demand. Domestic air traffic grew by 19% in Fiscal 2011 compared to the same period last year. This compares to capacity increase of 11% for the same period.

 

Widespread social and political unrest which started with Tunisia and Egypt in early 2011, has spread to other Middle East countries and this has resulted in spiraling fuel prices particularly in the last quarter of Fiscal 2011.

 

OUTLOOK

 

With the Hon’ble Bombay High Court delivering the judgment on Sahara litigation in May 2011, Jet Airways can now go ahead with aircraft sale and lease back proposals as well as the development of the Bandra-Kurla property.

 

International Operations continue to be robust and they are achieving very healthy seat factors. Their flight to Milan which started in December 2010 has matured significantly and they are currently achieving load factors in excess of 70%.

 

The Indian economy is expected to show good growth and this should improve domestic aviation industry.

l) The Company had acquired 100% shares of Sahara Airlines Limited (SAL) (now known as Jet Lite (India) Limited) in April, 2007. As per the Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) and the subsequent Consent Terms, the sale consideration was to be paid to the Selling Shareholders (SICCL) in installments by 30th March, 2011. As a result of certain disputes that arose between the parties, both the parties had filed petitions in the Hon’ble Bombay High Court for breach of SPA and consent terms. The Hon’ble Bombay High Court delivered the Judgment on 4th May, 2011 whereby SICCL’s demand for restoration of original price to Rs.20000.000 millions was denied and the Purchase Consideration was sealed at Rs.14500.000 millions. However, the Hon’ble Bombay High Court has awarded interest of 9% p.a. on the sums payable to SICCL from the date of default. In view of this Order, a sum of Rs.1164.300 millions became payable as interest which has been duly discharged by the Company. As a result of this discharge, the undertaking given by the Company in April 2009 for not creating any encumbrance or alienation of its moveable or immoveable assets and properties in any manner other than in the normal course of the business, stands released.

 

Further as regards the Company’s execution proceedings against SICCL to recover amounts aggregating Rs.8210.200 millions for their obligation to indemnify the Company for income tax demands raised on Jet Lite (India) Limited for assessment years prior to the effective date of Share Purchase Agreement / Consent Terms and Consent Award by which SAL Shares were acquired presently stands resolved in the light of Department quashing such demand on Jet Lite.

 

Though the Company has complied with the order of the Hon’ble Bombay High Court by making payment of Rs.4785.100 millions including interest of Rs.1164.300 millions, thereafter based on legal advice it has decided to file an appeal with the Division Bench of Bombay High Court contesting the levy of interest @ 9% p.a. and claiming no interest payable. SICCL has already filed an appeal with the Division Bench of Bombay High Court for restoration of purchase consideration to Rs.20000.000 millions and for interest to be awarded at 18% p.a. as against 9% p.a. awarded by the Hon’ble Bombay High Court.

 

Hence the interest payment of Rs.1164.300 millions (Rs.1130.500 millions up to 31st March, 2011) till 4th May 2011 effected by the Company on 5th May 2011 is not provided in the books of accounts as per its stand above and will be subject to final determination by the Court.

 

The Company is a party to various legal proceedings in the normal course of business and does not expect the outcome of these proceedings to have any adverse effect on its financial conditions, results of operations or cash flows.
