Jet Airways is adding three new routes that will boost connectivity between the state of Kerala and the Gulf region.
In the last quarter of the year, the Indian carrier will introduce new daily flights from Kochi to Dubai, and from both Kohzikode and Thiruvananthapuram to Doha.
This expansion will kick off on 5 November 2014, with the launch of a new daily direct service between Kochi and Dubai. This route, departing Kochi at 0905, will join Jet’s extensive list of Gulf connections from Kerala’s state capital, which already includes daily direct flights to Abu Dhabi, Dammam, Doha, Muscat and Sharjah.
Then on 1 December 2014, the airline will commence two new daily flights between Kerala and Qatar’s capital Doha. Flights will depart Thiruvananthapuram daily at 0745 and Kohzikode at 1850. These two new services will add to Jet’s existing daily service between Kochi and Doha.
All the new routes will be operated using Jet’s fleet of single-aisle, twin-class Boeing 737-800 aircraft.
“Jet Airways has already established itself as a prestigious brand in the intensely competitive India-Gulf sector,” said Gaurang Shetty, Jet’s senior vice president of commercial. “We are confident that these services will prove immensely popular with our guests. Introduction of these flights is an important landmark in the evolution and emergence of the airline as India’s premier international airline.”
Currently, Jet operates daily flights to Doha from Delhi, Kochi and Mumbai, with a second daily departure from Mumbai scheduled to get underway later this year. Dubai is currently linked with four daily flights from Mumbai and two from Delhi, with a fifth daily Mumbai service commencing at the end of October.
