India's Jet Airways is launching services on several routes, as it introduces forty-six new flights as part of its winter schedule.
Effective 1 November, the carrier's low cost unit JetLite will introduce six-times-weekly service on the Nagpur-Mumbai-Bengaluru and Nagpur-Indore routes.
Also effective 1 November, the carrier's Jet Airways Konnect unit will introduce daily service on the following routes: Hyderabad-Vadodara, Lucknow-Varanasi, Kolkata-Lucknow-Varanasi, and Vadodara-Bengaluru. In addition, Jet Airways Konnect will launch 12 weekly services on the Mumbai-Visakhapatnam route.
"With domestic air traffic, particularly business travel, on an upswing, there has been a strong up-shift in demand towards twin-cabin services on several routes," says Jet Airways CEO Nikos Kardassis. "The introduction of Jet Airways' Premiere and Konnect Select products on these new routes, in addition to the introduction of new services on existing domestic routes, is in response to this."
According to Flightglobal's ACAS database, JetLite operates nine Boeing 737-700 aircraft, and seven 737-800s. Jet Airways Konnect operates two 737-700s, four 737-800s, and three ATR 72-500s.
On 1 November, Jet Airways posted a loss after tax of 500 million rupees ($11.28 million) for its fiscal second quarter, down from the 5.3 billion rupees it lost a year before.
