History
The reason behind the launch of Jet Konnect was to make use of spare aircrafts from Jet Airways' routes, which were discontinued by the parent company due to the low passenger load factors. Jet Konnect was started with the aim of diverting the flights to more profitable routes, with higher passenger load factors. The other low cost airline operated by Jet Airways is JetLite. Jet Airways decided to launch a new airline instead of expanding the existing one, to avoid the regulatory delays that would have been caused by moving excess aircraft and assets from Jet Airways to JetLite, since they have different operator codes.
