31 Mar 2008

Jet Airways, India’s premier airline, has enhanced regional connectivity between Ahmedabad, Indore, Bhopal, Raipur and Hyderabad cities with its new, state-of-the-art ATR 72-500 aircraft in an all economy configuration.

Jet Airways has also introduced an additional frequency on the Ahmedabad- Mumbai sector. Jet Airways’ flight 9W 2408 will depart Ahmedabad at 0030 hrs, arriving in Mumbai 0150 hrs, thus offering the airline’s international passengers convenient connections.

Commenting on the enhanced frequencies, Mr. Wolfgang Prock-Schauer, Jet Airways’ Chief Executive Officer said “With smaller metros like Bhopal, Raipur and Indore growing at a fast pace, we believe that there is a strong demand for better connectivity in these areas. The airline is confident that the introduction of its services on these routes will prove popular and convenient for passengers”.
 
Having tailor made its schedule to suit the business traveller, Jet Airways is the only airline to offer a convenient same-day return option on the Ahmedabad-Indore sector.
