Jet Airways has commenced an additional flight between Delhi and Dhaka with effect from today. The planned expansion – including a four-day-a-week operation on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, is in line with the airline’s Think India, Think Jet Airways policy.
This new service will complement the existing daily operations between the two cities, providing guests more flight choices between Bangladesh and India. It makes Jet Airways the airline operating the most number of flights between the two countries.
This additional flight will prove to be a boon for corporate travelers between Delhi and Dhaka, enhancing economic ties between India and Bangladesh.
Gaurang Shetty, Whole-time Director, Jet Airways, said, “There was a need and potential to develop the operations between the capitals of India and Bangladesh. As economic activities develop along with the ties between the two countries, it provides opportunities for citizens of Bangladesh to be a part of the growth story. The new service also presents an opportunity for businesses and leisure travelers to explore the potential of our neighboring country.”
Commenting on the launch, Rajkumar Bhattacharya – Country Manager – Bangladesh, Jet Airways, said “With Bangladesh emerging as a trading centre and business hub in the SAARC region, it is also important to continue to provide a high degree of air connectivity both in terms of passenger and cargo. We at Jet Airways are indeed proud to be the first airline connecting the capital cities of our two neighbouring countries with double daily frequencies.”
