Jet to fly BLR-BRU
 

Thanks for posting! How beautiful is that!!

yes it is!

Will this affect/replace the MAA flight? Or do they have spare B777's/A330's for this flight?

I don't think they will replace MAA-BRU flight. One of my buddy travels JFK-MAA regularly and according to him MAA-BRU flight is always full. Also they have lot of spare 332 after they reduced capacity on DEL-SIN, MAA-SIN.

According to my calculation they have 10 332's and they use 4 of them on DEL-BRU-YYZ & MAA-BRU-JFK. The only other routes that gets a 332 are BOM-HKG & BOM-SIN so they have atleast 4 spare 332's. Also they should have a couple of spare 77W's as well.

But where in the US?
 

Well, I think the question is - what is XXX in the US that they will be flying to on this BLR-BRU-XXX route? The possibilities are: IAD, BOS, ORD, SEA, LAX, SFO, any others?

Not SFO, since they are doing BOM-PVG-SFO. But do they have to have the plane continue onto the USA? Why wouldn't they have stated that when they disclosed their intention to do BLR-BRU.

BOM-DXB is another A332 route...

I am assuming that they would add another destination in the US under similar strategy like their 3 routes to N.A. From 9W website (link posted by OP):

Guys.. it's a terminator flight BLR-BRU-BLR.. starting Oct 31 '08.

Jet Airways (9W 132)
dep: 01:35 - Bangalore (BLR) terminal
arr: 07:55 - Brussels (BRU) terminal
equipment: Airbus Industrie A330-200, daily

Jet Airways (9W 131)
dep: 10:05 - Brussels (BRU) terminal
arr: 00:05 - Bangalore (BLR) terminal
equipment: Airbus Industrie A330-200, daily

They have a bunch of other flights to east coast destinations, I guess this blr-bru flight can feed into any one of those.

That's the idea! ;) :p

More to fill up the TATL's...

Would like to see some other connectivity as well, but given the current oil scenario, this probably might not happen... (LAX anyone??)
