Jet Airways to fly to New York this summer

Chennai: Jet Airways will start its long-planned flights to New York this summer, via Brussels.
"It's likely to come by the end of July, early August," according to Nandini Verma, vice-president of public relations at Jet.
The daily flights will initially be from Mumbai, and later from New Delhi too, she said.
Jet Airways will be the first Indian private carrier to fly to the U.S. This will also provide a direct air link between India and Belgium. Now travellers from India to Belgium have to take connecting flights from cities such as Paris, Frankfurt or Amsterdam. Jet had planned this route over two years ago, but the move was stalled owing to legal problems in the U.S.
The Brussels Airport is also in talks with Jet and other Indian carriers to begin cargo operations between India and Belgium. A trade and investment delegation from Flanders, the Dutch-speaking northern region of Belgium, met with air cargo operators in Chennai on Wednesday to discuss possibilities of collaboration.
