Jet Airways adding more flights for winter

Sunday, 1 February 20153 min read

Indian carrier Jet Airways is upping winter capacity with an extra 16 flights until March 28.

Most of the new flights will be deployed on its busier routes such as Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai and Bengaluru.

"Jet Airways will operate 16 additional daily Boeing 737 flights effective February 1 to March 28 to meet increased demand on key domestic sectors," the Mumbai-based airline said in a release.

There will be an extra two round-trips to both Bengaluru and Chennai from Mumbai , plus additional flights from Mumbai to Kolkata, Chandigarh, Kochi and Raipur.

The move to add more flight options is in part a response to new competitor Vistara, which launched its first flights just weeks ago.

Vistara last week announced it is scaling up operations with added frequencies and new routes to Goa and Hyderabad.
