Episode 73 of The Indian AvGeek features Antony Oliver Fernandes, Head - Network Planning & Revenue Optimization at Jazeera Airways, for a conversation that runs from the ambitious, wide-body dreams of Kingfisher Airlines to rebuilding an entire airline's network from scratch in a matter of days.
✈️ From Kingfisher Airlines' wide-body ambitions to yield management, and what that taught him before he ever landed in the Gulf
✈️ Building Jazeera Airways' network thesis inside a market with no hub ambitions, a protected national carrier like Kuwait Airways, and tight bilateral and slot constraints
✈️ Inside Project Baraka: rebuilding Jazeera's network in a neighbouring market after the airspace shutdown, and whether it is a repeatable crisis playbook
✈️ Why the A320neo made the tight margins of Project Baraka viable, and what the A321XLR means for the long haul LCC debate
✈️ Competing with IndiGo, Air Arabia & flydubai as the smaller carrier on overlapping routes
✈️ Tug of war between revenue teams chasing proven yield and network planners betting on long term portfolio value
✈️ How pax behaviour on a migrant heavy corridor like Dhaka differs from a business leisure market like Kuwait, and what that does to scheduling and pricing
✈️ Where AI and forecasting tools end and human judgement in network planning still wins
