Airport Express Line of Delhi Metro to open next week

After three months of missed deadlines and failed safety clearances, the country’s first private metro rail line, Airport Express Line, is set to begin operations here next week. The Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group’s Delhi Airport Express Pvt Ltd (DAMEPL) would run and maintain the line, which would reduce travel time between the heart of the capital and the Indira Gandhi International Airport to 20 minutes. The government-owned Delhi Metro Rail Corporation had bid out the line to the Reliance company on a public-private partnership. DMRC laid the track and built the civil structures, beside supplying the rolling stock. The line had failed to get safety clearances owing to technical glitches during an earlier inspection by the Commissioner for Metro Rail Safety (CMRS) in late September. “The new dates for the second inspection by the CMRS are Friday (January 7) and Saturday. Once the safety clearance is obtained, it will take less than a week to open the line for the public. In all probability, the line should start next week,” said a senior official from DMRC. “Although we have carried out our own inspections before inviting CMRS, the safety commissioner’s inspection deals with the statutory requirements of safety and other standards.” An issue that still remains to be resolved for the smooth running are differences between the concessionaire and the various airlines over setting up check-in counters at select stations on the line. “It is a commercial issue between the concessionaire and the airlines. It is yet to be resolved. But at least Air India will surely do it (set up check-in counters),” the DMRC official said.  Airlines are reluctant to pay rental charges for the check-in facilities at the metro stations. Negotiations are on. The official said the ministry of civil aviation is pushing for early opening of the line, to benefit passengers. “The ministry is very keen to resolve the matter. In fact, the secretary, civil aviation, has set up a committee to look into the issue. It is still working on it.” Air India’s team recently did a technical inspection of the stations and is likely to sign an agreement shortly with DAMEPL. At `150, the fare for the high speed metro is far higher than any of the other metro corridors in the city, raising doubts on occupancy. A check-in facility at metro stations is, therefore, crucial to attract flyers, who normally take taxis to the airport. The metro official said service on the 22-km line would initially be available for 16 hours daily, between 6 am and 10 pm. “There will be four stations to begin with – New Delhi, Shivaji Stadium, IGI Airport and Dwarka Sector 21. Later, two stations, Dhaula Kuan and NH8, will be added to the line,” the official said. A feature of trains on this line would be much higher speed. According to DAMEPL, a subsidiary of Reliance Infrastructure
they’d run at 120 kmph. Metro trains in Delhi run at an average speed of around 40 kmph. For this, the concessionaire has been providing special training to drivers. The agreement says the concessionaire, DAMEPL, would hand over the line to DMRC after running it for 30 years.

Jet Airways gets nod for flights to Milan

The ministry of civil aviation has approved a proposal by Jet Airways (India) Ltd to fly to Milan in Italy and has also given its permission for the carrier to increase its frequency of flights to short-haul international destinations such as Dubai, Bangkok and Colombo from various Indian cities, said two senior civil aviation ministry officials familiar with the development. “We had approved the proposal of Jet Airways to fly to Milan in addition to Dubai, Bangkok and Colombo. The carrier may start its operations by next month or so,” said one of the officials. Both ministry officials declined to be identified. This approval last week will allow Jet Airways to access the largely untapped India-Italy market, which is currently served through indirect connections. Mounting losses had forced Italian government owned Alitalia, run by Linee Aeree Italiane SpA, to withdraw from the Indian market in March 2008. Besides Milan, Jet Airways will now also consider flying to other European destinations, said a senior Jet executive, marking the lifting of a freeze India’s largest airline by passengers carried had imposed on long haul route expansion following the financial crisis of 2008. A spokesperson for Jet Airways declined to comment on the developments. Jet Airways launched international flights in 2004 and expanded aggressively on long haul routes, but imposed a moratorium of new long-haul international flights in November 2008 after a credit crunch and economic slowdown in the wake of the collapse of US investment bank Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. in September 2008. As a part of resuming its long-distance route expansion, Jet Airways had applied for permission to fly to other international routes including Mexico and Paris. “Though Jet Airways had applied for many other routes, mainly in Europe, we have not considered (them) at this time. We had to be very cautious considering the health of airline industry,” a ministry official said, adding that these may be considered at a later date. Apart from the proposed Milan flights, Jet Airways launched a long-haul flight between Johannesburg and Mumbai beginning 14 April, ahead of the 11 June start of the soccer World Cup in South Africa. Rashesh Shah, an analyst at domestic brokerage ICICI Securities Ltd, said there is a strong and healthy demand growth of passengers in Europe though there is competition. “Despite a slowing economy, European flights should augur well for Jet Airways. Colombo flights are also likely to do well because of the current mismatch of demand and supply,” Shah said, but cautioned that it would likely face competition on sectors such as Dubai and Bangkok from Emirates and Air- Asia Bhd. However, Jet Airways, which currently operates 90 aircraft connecting international destinations, does not plan to add to its fleet even as it adds international destinations. “We are not looking to add further capacity in terms of aircraft,” said K.G. Vishwanath, vice-president for commercial strategy and investor relations at Jet Airways, had told an analysts’ conference on 26 July. “What you might see is some improvement in utilization by operating Boeing 737 routes or even on the wide-body route to the extent (that) we are able to find some network spaces at this point in time. But no further aircraft addition is planned in the international business,” he said at the time.
