Beijing - China lan AS bakal disambungake dening operator India kanggo pisanan, yen Jet Airways diresiki dening panguwasa China kanggo mabur rute Mumbai-Shanghai-San Francisco sing diusulake.
Iki uga bakal dadi link penerbangan langsung pertama ing antarane ibukutha komersial India lan China, loro ekonomi sing berkembang paling cepet ing donya. Air India saiki ngoperasikake penerbangan ing rute Mumbai-Delhi-Bangkok-Shanghai.
Pak Naresh Goyal, Ketua Jet Airways, ujar manawa maskapai kasebut siyap miwiti ngoperasikake penerbangan saben dina wiwit wulan ngarep. Nanging, pamrentah China isih menehi ijin.
Alasan kanggo nyeret sikil ing sisih Cina yaiku New Delhi saiki ngalangi mlebu maskapai kargo China Great Wall Airlines menyang Mumbai lan Chennai, dilaporake amarga fasilitas nuklir utama dumunung ing cedhak bandara loro kasebut. Pamrentah India pindhah saka kasunyatan manawa salah sawijining mantan pemilik maskapai kasebut - China Great Wall Industry Corporation - didaftar ireng dening AS amarga diduga transfer teknologi rudal menyang Iran.
Obstruksi Beijing saka rencana Jet Airways dadi langkah pembalasan.
Ing perjanjian penerbangan sipil bilateral sing ditandatangani ing April 2005, nalika Perdana Menteri Tiongkok, kunjungan Pak Wen Jiabao menyang India, maskapai penerbangan loro negara kasebut diidini ngoperasikake nganti 42 penerbangan saben minggu ing antarane negara loro kasebut. Nanging, nalika operator Cina wis gumunggung gabungan 18 penerbangan mingguan, Air India India (saiki mung maskapai India sing mabur menyang China) mung mbukak papat penerbangan seminggu.
Sajrone rapat karo mitra Tionghoa ing Beijing, dina Sabtu sore, Menteri Perdagangan, Pak Kamal Nath, nggawa kasus Jet minangka keprihatinan, kanthi alesan manawa Beijing kudu ngilangi hubungan kasebut saka masalah Great Wall Airline.
Pak Goyal ujar manawa dheweke ngarep-arep perkara kasebut bakal dirampungake kanthi cepet, bisa uga nalika Perdana Menteri India ana ing Beijing. "Sawise kabeh PM (India) ujar manawa dheweke pengin ngowahi Mumbai dadi Shanghai. Yen mangkono, apa ora kudu mabur langsung ing antarane kutha loro kasebut?" dheweke mesem.
Saliyane penerbangan saben dina antarane Mumbai lan Shanghai, Jet uga ngrancang nyambungake Beijing karo Mumbai, uga New Delhi.

APA sing kudu dijupuk saka ARTIKEL INI:
- The reasons for the foot-dragging on the Chinese side is that New Delhi is currently blocking the entry of Chinese cargo carrier Great Wall Airlines to Mumbai and Chennai, reportedly due to the fact that key nuclear facilities are located near these two airports.
- The Indian government's move springs from the fact that one of the former owners of the airline in question — China Great Wall Industry Corporation — was blacklisted by the US for alleged transfer of missile technology to Iran.
- During a meeting with his Chinese counterpart in Beijing on Saturday afternoon, the Commerce Minister, Mr Kamal Nath, brought up Jet's case as a concern, arguing that Beijing should de-link it from the Great Wall Airline issue.
