Jet Re-Leases 2 More 77w's Ex-TK To TG

I guess we're not going to get any 77w's any longer - they keep leasing them out to TG this time!:

"Carrier Jet Airways Ltd said on Monday it has executed an agreement with Thai Airways International for dry lease of two of its B 777-300ER aircraft.

The lease will commence from October and November of this year, respectively, and will continue for a period of 24 months, Jet said in a statement.

Both aircraft are currently given on lease to Turkish Airlines, and are expected to be returned later this year on the expiry of the respective lease terms."

I guess we'll have to fly TG to enjoy the 9w hard product!

Had a conversation with a 73x captain deadheading on a flight back to BOM yesterday, and he stated (as borne out by the switch to A332's) that the 777's suck fuel on the short runs that 9w has (BOM-BRU-EWR) and difficult to make a profit...
