Jet Airways Sees Greater Connectivity Between India And Europe

Jet Airways, India’s second largest airline, will launch two daily flights from India to Amsterdam and expects greater connectivity between India and Europe after shifting its base from Brussels to the Dutch capital.

The Mumbai-headquartered airline will operate two non-stop flights from Mumbai and Delhi to Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport from March 27.

Jet Airways has relocated its European base to Amsterdam after being in Brussels for about nine years. The airline is also closing its Newark service as the route is not profitable.

It will also operate a daily flight to Toronto from Amsterdam.

Schedules of all three flights have been planned to allow quick, convenient and seamless connections between India and Toronto via Amsterdam, the airline said on Monday.

Jet Airways has also entered into a codeshare partnership with KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Delta Air Lines to provide connections to and from destinations across Europe and North America via Amsterdam.

"We are delighted to announce the launch of our new daily services to Amsterdam. This is a significant step for Jet Airways and demonstrates our continuous endeavour to provide greater choice and better connections for our guests. The strategic codeshare partnerships with KLM and Delta will enable us to offer wider access, unmatched connectivity and seamless travel from India to key destinations in Europe and North America," said Gaurang Shetty, a director of Jet Airways.
