JET Airways, India’s premier international airline, is set to deploy its long haul Boeing 777-300ER aircraft into service on the Mumbai – Hong Kong/Newark sectors.
The widebody Boeing 777-300ER, with its three class configuration, including the airline’s world-renowned first class service, will significantly enrich the inflight experience of Jet Airways’ guests. The airline currently operates Airbus 330-200 aircraft on these sectors.
Guests from the Gulf can experience warm Indian hospitality with the reintroduction of the three-class configuration while enjoying a stopover in ‘Incredible India’ and Jet Airways also offers immediate connections to Hong Kong and Newark from Dubai and Dammam.
Those using the service can now enjoy luxury, privacy and comfort in the air with eight first class suites which offer not just personalised service and leading cuisine but also the world’s longest airline beds, private closets, dining tables for two and 23-inch flat screens.
Première business class features seats which convert into 73-inch-long totally flat beds and in economy the leg room is also greater than usual.
The aircraft change on the Mumbai to Hong Kong daily service will begin on July 28 and effective September 23, 2011, Jet Airways will deploy a Boeing 777-300 ER aircraft from Mumbai to Newark, via Brussels, twice a week on Fridays and Sundays.
The carrier’s COO Sudheer Raghavan said: “We are delighted to announce the deployment of the state-of-the-art Boeing 777-300ER aircraft on the Hong Kong and Newark routes, which has been necessitated due to growing traffic demand in the premium segment. We are confident that the Boeing 777’s three class configuration will help us deliver a significantly superior and enriched service experience for all our guests.”
Jet Airways was also recently awarded the ‘Air Cargo Award of Excellence 2011’ by Air Cargo World magazine.
The Air Cargo Excellence survey is based on a rating system that measures airlines and airports on specific criteria and subsequently ranks them to identify their performance levels.
