But the upturn in profitability isn't likely to continue. To start with, the October-March period is the peak season for airline operators, which means the financials of the next couple of quarters would be less exciting. Besides, there has been a sharp drop in occupancy rates (seat factor) in Jet's core domestic operations— from an average of 76.5% in April and May of 2006, to 71.2% in 2007. International operations could slip back into the red as a number of new routes will be launched this fiscal. (New routes typically take 12-18 months to turn profitable.) And then there's the integration of Air Sahara/JetLite—until Jet manages to turn around its operations, consolidated numbers may not look very healthy.
