Full-service airline Jet Airways has announced a partnership with ride-hailing app Uber to book airport cabs through the Jet Airways app itself.

The airline will partner Uber and facilitate travel to/ from the airport once a passenger has booked a ticket on the Jet Airways app.

Jayaraj Shanmugam, Chief Commercial Officer, Jet Airways, said, “The association is especially meaningful since both Jet Airways and Uber have substantially similar guest profiles and needs, which will facilitate greater collaboration.”

Guests booking their flights on the app and using Uber for the first time will also benefit from a discount of Rs 150 across their first three rides by using the promo code JETUBER.

Madhu Kannan, Chief Business Officer, Uber India and Emerging Markets said, "Through this partnership, Jet Airways’ guests across 29 cities will be able to request their Uber when they book their flight. That removes any last-minute hassles when heading to the airport and makes for a smooth arrival in your destination city.”

The cab booking feature will be available to all Jet Airways’ guests in the cities where Uber currently operates in India while booking their travel itinerary with the airline on the Jet Airways app.
