MUMBAI: Jet Airways, India’s premier international airline, and its low fare brand JetKonnect, have undertaken steps to minimize guest inconvenience in the likelihood of flight disruptions and cancellations on account of fog this winter season.

In case of anticipated flight delays/cancellations, guests are requested to check the status of their respective flights before leaving for the airport by calling the Jet Airways and JetKonnect call centres on 3989 3333, as also the airlines' toll-free numbers 1800-22-55-22 and 1800-22-30-20 respectively. Flight status/updates can be retrieved via the airlines' Jet Mobile facility wherein guests may send an SMS: Jet (Flight number) to 56388. This service is also advertised on NDTV 24X7, India’s leading news channel. In the event of flight disruptions due to fog, the airline plans to deploy additional aircraft for relief/additional flights, where possible. In case of flight diversions, operations out of alternate airports have been planned, while certain existing scheduled services will be re-routed or combined to ensure smooth operations during the fog period. Consequent to the above, certain Jet Airways and JetKonnect flights have been re-scheduled, effective December 15, 2012 to January 15, 2013. In terms of flight operations, all Jet Airways and JetKonnect aircraft are equipped and maintained to national and international standards for all weather operations (AWO), and our flight crew are trained and qualified to operate under these conditions.
