This drive is part of their country-wide campaign to meet the surge in demand during the summer holiday season. The airline will also commence operations between Nagpur and New Delhi, Lucknow and Kolkata as part of its broader strategy of connecting India's emerging cities with metros by direct flights.
According to the company, the introduction of additional frequencies and wide-body aircraft deployments between key metros will boost capacity on existing sectors during the summer season. It will also introduce additional frequencies on the highly traveled Delhi-Amritsar and Mumbai-Kolkata sectors and boost capacity on the New Delhi-Bengaluru and New Delhi-Bhopal routes with the introduction of the wide-body Airbus A330 and Boeing 737 services, respectively.
The changes are part of Jet Airways' summer schedule which will see the airline operate up to 650 flights per day connecting 65 destinations in India and abroad.
