Jet Airways’ service to New York from Chennai
Staff Reporter
CHENNAI: Jet Airways will launch flights connecting Chennai with New York and Newark, New Jersey in the United States, through Brussels, towards the end of October.
The airline will fly four times a week to start with and will make the connection daily by January 2008, Gaurang Shetty, vice-president (marketing), said here on Tuesday.
This follows the launch of the airline’s first flight to the U.S. from Mumbai on August 6, making it the first Indian private carrier to connect Indian cities with the continental Europe and the U.S.
The flights from Chennai, Mumbai and New Delhi will arrive at Brussels at 7.15 a.m. local time, and the connecting flights to the U.S. will leave at 9.15 a.m.
“We have synchronised the flight timings so that the passengers will have enough time to make their connections to the U.S. and on the way back as well,” Mr. Shetty said.
“Given that Brussels is a small airport unlike Frankfurt or London, passengers can easily transfer between terminals.”
The airline would enter into a code-share partnership with Brussels Airlines so that Indian passengers could “seamlessly” connect around Europe, he said.
The airline plans to shortly introduce flights to Brussels from Bangalore, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad, besides expanding its destinations abroad to Los Angeles, Chicago and Vancouver in North America and Johannesburg, South Africa.
New services between New Delhi and Toronto will commence on September 5.
Mr. Shetty said the airline had ordered 20 new wide-bodied aircraft to service these new sectors.
It had also invested around $400 million in refurbishing the interiors of the aircraft cabins on both domestic and international flights.
