In fact, introducing the A330 will nearly double Jet Airways' current capacity on the fast growing Delhi - Kolkata - Delhi route," a statement from Jet Airways said.
"Departing from Mumbai for Delhi at 7.30 am, flight 9W 346 will offer comfortable same day returns for guests on its return leg from Delhi as 9W 362, at 5.45 pm," it added.
Jet's chief commercial officer Jayaraj Shanmugam said: "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 to 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.
