DUBAI, Dec 28: Jet Airways will fly 6 times a week on the Mangalore-Dubai route beginning January 3, 2013, the airline has announced.
The airline will deploy a Boeing 737-800 aircraft with 170 Economy class seats on the route.
Jet Airways currently operates daily direct flights to Dubai from Delhi, and 4 services a day from Mumbai.
“Jet Airways’ new Mangalore-Dubai service will provide a much-needed link between the chief port city of Karnataka and Dubai, catering to the large number of Indians settled in the UAE.
“The introduction of this new service, the first from a Tier II Indian destination to the Gulf, will further strengthen Jet Airways’ presence in the Gulf, where it has emerged as one of the leading carriers,” Sudheer Raghavan, Chief Commercial Officer, Jet Airways, said. (PTI)
