Mumbai: It may not be the best of seasons for airlines in India. High fuel costs, shortage of pilots and other operating hurdles had left many of them in the red in the last reporting quarter. But that has not deterred airlines from spending on upgrading their services.
Jet Airways, the largest private sector airline in the country, has refitted one of its Boeing -777 aircraft making a three-class configuration to offer first class service on its Mumbai-Hong Kong flight.
The new first class service starting from August 21 will provide an ‘exclusive all-new five-star in-flight service,” said Mr Paul Wu, Country Manager for Jet in Hong Kong.
The first class suites on board will provide a personal cabin with sliding doors and a fully flat bed and a dining table for two, besides the other usual business-class amenities.
“Our aim is to ensure unmatched luxury, privacy and comfort to our elite passengers,” said Mr Wu, who has been with Jet Airways for over 15 years and posted in Hong Kong recently.
One of the things that will make the service unique is the in-flight meal, he said.
