Jet Airways presently operates four flights daily from Mumbai and a daily service from Delhi to Dubai.

Sudheer Raghavan, Chief Commercial Officer, Jet Airways, said, “We are happy to introduce a second service on the popular Delhi-Dubai route, which has seen a steady growth in traffic be it tourists or business travellers.
