Mumbai, Mar 3 (JEN): International airline Jet Airways on Tuesday unveiled #JetInstant, an online feature that enables guests to access information on fares and flight status in real-time through Twitter.

The customer-centric initiative is part of Jet Airways’ strategy to simplify the travel experience and engage with guests on a real-time basis, an official statement said.

The initiative, developed in collaboration with Twitter and technology partner, TravelSpends, will see Jet Airways set a new industry benchmark in customer service.

Cramer Ball, Chief Executive Officer, Jet Airways said: “Innovation has always been a key feature in Jet Airways' operating philosophy and #JetInstant is another pioneering customer driven initiative.”

“By using digital and social media platforms, we will empower our guests with information that can help them plan their travel more efficiently and enhance their overall experience with Jet Airways,” Ball said.
