Jet Airways puts on hold Bangalore-NY flight

Brussels: Jet Airways has put on hold its plans of connecting Bangalore and New York (John F. Kennedy International Airport) through Brussels due to the non-availability of slots in Bangalore.
“The airline has decided to launch a flight from Chennai to JFK through Brussels from October 26 this year. The decision has been taken primarily because the availability of slots at Bangalore was an issue. We, however, hope to sort the problem out by next year and launch a flight from Bangalore to New York soon,” Mr Naresh Goyal, Chairman, Jet Airways told the media in Brussels after the launch of the international hub of the airline.
The hub was inaugurated by the Finance Minister, Mr P. Chidambaram, at the Brussels airport, making Jet Airways the first private Indian airline to have full scale operations outside the country. The hub is a partnership between Jet Airways, Brussels Airlines and Brussels Airports.
The airline hopes to utilise the Brussels hub and its tie-up with Brussels Airline to offer passengers from Scandinavian countries, Spain, Switzerland and Germany and several cities in the United Kingdom like Birmingham and Manchester easy passage to and from India.
