Jet Airways too set to fly non-stop to the US

Mumbai: India's oldest privately run airline, Jet Airways (India) Ltd, is readying plans to fly non-stop to select US destinations, potentially rivalling competitor Kingfisher Airlines Ltd's ambitions of flying directly to San Francisco from Bangalore and Mumbai by the middle of this year.
State-owned airline Air India has already started non-stop operations to the US from Mumbai and New Delhi.
International airlines such as Continental Airlines Inc., American Airlines Inc. and Delta Air Lines Inc. too operate non-stop flights to the US from Mumbai and Delhi.
The total market size on the India-US sector is more than 2 million passengers and, with the introduction of long-haul planes by Boeing Co. and Airbus SAS, the world's two biggest plane makers, airlines are increasingly offering direct flights to the world's largest economy.
Jet Airways had in 2007 established the European city Brussels as a hub for offering various onwards connections from there to North America.
