Jet Airways announces daily nonstop flights between India & Thailand effective January 23, 2007

Jet Airways India Ltd has announced the launch of direct daily flights from Delhi and Kolkata to Bangkok, the 50th destination on the airline's network, effective from January 23, 2007. Consequent to the induction into its fleet of a brand new Boeing 737-800 aircraft with winglets, the Company, which has been designated by the Government of India to operate air services on the India-Thailand route, will introduce two daily direct flights effective January 23, 2007 to Asia's favourite destination, Bangkok. The Company will operate these flights with a brand new Boeing 737-800 aircraft with winglets, which will be inducted into the airline fleet next month, taking the fleet size to 59. This is the first time that the Airline will operate inaugural flights between two metro cities in India and an international destination on the same day.

Speaking about the launch of these new flights, the Company's CEO Mr. Wolfgang Prock-Schauer said, "Bangkok will be the 50th destination on our network and the third destination we operate to in the ASEAN Region. With the strengthening of economic ties between India and Thailand, there has been a marked increase in business and tourist traffic between the two countries, which requires enhanced connectivity. Jet Airways will be fulfilling this need with 14 direct flights per week to Bangkok, seven each from Delhi and Kolkata."
