Beijing, Paris, Milan on Jet radar

Mumbai: Jet Airways is all set to spread its wings to Beijing, Milan and Paris within a year. The airline currently flies to London ? it is the market leader on this route with a robust share of 33 per cent ? and Brussels, which is also its second hub after Mumbai.
Speaking to Business Standard, Jet Airways' Chairman Naresh Goyal also outlined his plans for two of Air India's key markets ? the Gulf and the US.
"We are looking to fly to Dubai in June. As per the bilateral discussions held last week, the number of seats allotted to Indian carriers have been hiked to 54,000 a week from 31,000 a week. We have asked for a total of 15,000 seats a week to be allotted to Jet Airways and JetLite."
Jet will be operating flights to Dubai from New Delhi and Mumbai. Taking on Air India's other strategic market, Goyal also announced the date for the launch of the airline's Mumbai-Shanghai-San Francisco flight.
"We are targeting a launch date of June 14 to fly into Shanghai. We have the necessary go-aheads from both the governments. All we are awaiting is the slots to be cleared," said Goyal.
