Jet Airways has introduced a direct daily flight between Mangaluru and Abu Dhabi.
Addressing presspersons in Mangaluru on Sunday, Raj Sivakumar, Chief Commercial Officer of Jet Airways, said that this is the second flight to the Gulf region from Mangaluru. At present, Jet Airways operates a daily direct flight to Dubai.
The flight will depart from Mangalore International Airport at 5.50 pm (Indian time) and reach Abu Dhabi at 8.20 pm (local time). The return flight will depart from Abu Dhabi at 8.45 am (local time) and reach Mangaluru at 1.45 pm (Indian time). On Mangaluru-Abu Dhabi route the airline will deploy Boeing 737-800 aircraft.
Sivakumar said the new service would cater to the demand from a large number Indians settled in the Gulf, and those want to travel overseas on business and tourism from Mangaluru and its neighbouring areas.
The new flight service will provide the passengers the multiple travel options through Abu Dhabi to destinations in Europe, North America and Gulf region, he said.
Jet Airways, along with its partner Etihad Airways, offers 350 weekly flights to Abu Dhabi from 12 Indian cities. Jet Airways also operates three daily domestic flights to Mumbai and five daily domestic flights to Bengaluru from Mangaluru, he said.
