DL together with AF-KL announced additional cooperation and codesharing with 9W today, and indicated that full mileage earning and redemption with 9W will be available soon for SkyMiles members:

no mileage credit with jet
On June 15 I flew in paid business class SFO-DTW-AMS-BOM-CDG-SFO.
Only after requesting mileage credit most of the miles posted to AS. Except the AMS-BOM segment.
Jet just informed me via email that Delta is not a partner and miles can not be earned for flying on 9W metal with Delta flight number.
Delta customer service had advised they I needed to contact 9W.
I guess another email to Delta cs is on the schedule to maybe receive miles in my Delta account.

This may be so it is easier for SkyTeam connections, especially from North America.

Yes, could be that. The "New Connectivity" bit in the Press Release confused me into believing that Jet is starting a new flight. It most likely means new options for Delta flyers into India.

It is easier only if you're terminating journey at the entry point (DEL/BOM etc). Arriving at 1 am, as KL does leaves one with no connecting options. Which is why I find VS convenient with it's mid morning arrival in DEL, leaving one with many options to fly onward.

I definitely agree that having to overnight at an Indian airport to get to a final destination is not something one looks forward to (I've never had the displeasure of doing so), and therefore any daytime arrivals would be preferable for someone who has to do that.

Little over one year since the start of this thread, the FFP partnership has started:

Yes and it shows up on DL.com. Pretty meaningful change in the sense you can now easily find flights to India connecting via LHR, CDG, AMS. I've booked three tickets. Plus domestic India connections also show up sometimes (meaning AMS-DEL-BOM). Also a one way originating in india does not get those foreign surcharges like Europe does. That said why is US-India 97,500 and Europe-India is 65k. Its the most expensive saver award. AA and UA are all lower. India is more expensive than Middle East, Southern Africa and even SE Asia (SIN, BKK). A coach ticket to India is 80k miles or $1000 cash - not a great redemption and business is about 200,000 miles for a $4k ticket.
