Guests will now be able to connect conveniently through these gateway points to onward destinations in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea and China. “With our interline arrangements, code shares and frequent flyer agreements with some of the leading airlines in this region, Jet Airways has been able to offer guests supreme connectivity and seamless travel. We are confident that the new enhanced connectivity on offer will prove equally popular with our guests,” she informed.
Elaborating on its new Gulf route, she added, “With the new additional flight between Sharjah and India, business customers of Jet Airways can avail of choice of timings throughout the day between the two countries. The flights are timed to connect with Jet Airways’ domestic network and its network to SAARC/ASEAN points.”
Kripalani further added that guests will be able to avail of these seamless connections at truly attractive prices given the start of the festive season and the airlines winter schedule. “We currently offer guests similar connections while they travel from Europe, Gulf or SAARC destinations to India, through its international hubs in Mumbai and New Delhi.”
