Jet Airways enhanes domestic connectivity with introduction of widebody services
Mumbai, Oct 17 (NITN): Jet Airways, India's premier international airline, is set to introduce wide-body services on the busiest domestic routes in a move that will significantly enhance connectivity and offer superior on-board experience.

Beginning Oct30, Jet Airways will expand its wide body wings with 9W 346/362 on the Mumbai-Delhi-Mumbai and with 9W 907/946 on the Delhi-Kolkata-Delhi routes, that will significantly boost its capacity on these key sectors. 

In fact, introducing the A330 will nearly double Jet Airways’ current capacity on the fast growing Delhi – Kolkata – Delhi route.

Deploying A330s on domestic flights will allow Jet Airways to offer its guests a considerably luxurious and comfortable flying experience equivalent to international standards, including its famed ‘bed-in-the-sky’ lie-flat beds in Premiere and ergonomically designed seats that offer greater legroom in Economy. 
Together with convenient timings, the heightened in-flight experience will help refresh and recharge weary corporate travellers.

 Departing from Mumbai for Delhi at 0730hrs., flight 9W 346 will offer comfortable same day returns for guests on its return leg from Delhi as 9W 362, at 1745hrs.

Complementing the enhanced connectivity between Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata, will be a completely new non-stop flight – 9W 911/912, that will connect Kochi with Delhi, aside from additional frequencies that will connect Bengaluru and Delhi with Kolkata.
 

According to Jayaraj Shanmugam, Chief Commercial Officer, Jet Airways, "The Indian domestic sector is witnessing breakneck growth in demand. Our fleet mix comprising both wide body and narrow body aircraft is our strength and enables us respond to market conditions and provide enhanced travel options to our guests. The new flights and additional frequencies in our Winter Schedule further strengthen our robust domestic network, and offer our guests additional choice and flexibility to plan their travel. Deployment of wide body in domestic sectors provides us additional capacity on these key routes."
