Full fare carrier Jet Airways will introduce two new international routes this winter, besides reinforcing two existing routes with additional frequencies, to meet growing demand.
Jet Airways will be the first Indian carrier to operate a non-stop service between Mumbai and Manchester — the third largest city in the UK. The airline will also be the first to connect Pune directly with Singapore.
The airline will also deploy additional frequencies on the Delhi-Singapore, and Delhi-Dubai sectors, as it deepens presence and connectivity between key cities in Southeast Asia and the Gulf.
Domestic flights
On the domestic network, effective October 28, Jet Airways has enhanced connectivity from Vadodara, introducing its daily direct, non-stop flight between Vadodara and Delhi along with a new service between Vadodara and Bengaluru. Simultaneously, the airline has also launched a new direct daily flight between Delhi and Coimbatore, expanding North-South connectivity.
On the same day, Jet Airways has also commenced its new, daily non-stop flight between Delhi and Coimbatore. A major hub for manufacturing, education and healthcare in Tamil Nadu, Coimbatore is among the fastest growing emerging cities in India, housing over 25,000 small, medium and large industries majorly catering to engineering and textiles.
Similarly, this flight will connect the travellers to popular destinations like Ooty and Pollachi. Likewise, effective 28th October, the airline has commenced its 3rd daily service between the IT hubs, Pune and Bengaluru.
Additionally, Jet Airways has also introduced its second daily, non-stop service between the national capital, Delhi and Bagdogra, while the current bi-weekly service between Mumbai and Patna been increased to a daily frequency.
International routes
On the international network, Jet Airways has strengthened its connectivity to Dubai, via its 4th daily frequency between Delhi and Dubai. Dubai is among the airline’s most popular destinations for business and leisure travellers and it was only fitting to increase capacity to this key market.
Effective November 5, the airline will introduce the country’s first non-stop service between Mumbai and Manchester. Manchester will become the 21st international addition to the Jet Airways network and with the introduction of this new flight - the carrier’s 5th non-stop service to/from the United Kingdom - Jet Airways will also become the largest carrier between Mumbai and the United Kingdom.
Starting December 1, Jet Airways will also become India’s first airline to connect Pune directly with Singapore in response to growing demand from both leisure and corporate travellers. Pune has recorded the highest number of arrivals into Singapore from a non-linked Indian city and this new service will tap into this demand.
Additionally, in view of the overwhelming response to its existing services, the airline will also commence its third daily frequency on the Delhi–Singapore sector.
Raj Sivakumar, Senior Vice-President – Worldwide Sales & Distribution, Jet Airways, said, “Our new non-stop international and domestic services will help cater to growing demand for direct connectivity from cities such as Pune, Vadodara and Coimbatore.”
