Jet adds four new domestic routes this winter

Jet Airways has unveiled a series of new domestic flights for the forthcoming winter schedules, including four brand new city pairs.

Effective 15 November, Jet will introduce new flights from Mumbai and Delhi to the eastern port city of Vishakhapatnam, plus new daily flights between Srinagar and Jammu. It will also launch direct flights between the eastern metropolises of Chennai and Kolkata.

And the Delhi-Mumbai route will be upgraded with the deployment of a twin-aisle Airbus A330 aircraft, offering extra seat capacity. A 16th daily flight will also be introduced on this high-demand sector.

“The Indian domestic sector is witnessing a robust growth in demand,” said Gaurang Shetty, Jet’s senior vice president of commercial. “The new flights and additional frequencies in our 2015 Winter Schedule will further strengthen our robust domestic network, while offering our guests additional choice and flexibility to plan their travel. We are happy to introduce the A330-200 wide body aircraft between Delhi and Mumbai to provide additional connectivity on this key route.”

In addition to the new routes, Jet will increase the frequency of several existing services, with a key focus on Bengaluru. This includes the addition of a 10th daily flight between Bengaluru and Delhi, an 11th daily service from Mumbai to the Garden City, a third daily service between Hyderabad and Bengaluru, a sixth daily flight on the Bengaluru-Mangaluru route, and six more weekly flights between Bengaluru and Goa.
