Jet Airways commences non-stop services to Bagdogra, Madurai from Mumbai
The airline also commenced direct daily flights between Jaipur (Rajasthan) and Chandigarh.
With its new services, Jet Airways has made it easier and convenient for tourists, investors, delegates and regular flyers to travel to these emerging cities and metros.
Prior to the launch of the inaugural service, Jet Airways conducted a ‘pooja’ and lit a symbolic lamp to mark the occasion. Dignitaries at the event presented floral bouquets and boarding passes to passengers on the inaugural flights.
While Bagdogra is a major gateway for travelers to Eastern India, especially to scenic destinations in Darjeeling and Sikkim; Madurai - a major historical city, ranks among the most popular holy sites in the country, accounting for significant amount of pilgrimage / tourism related traffic.
The maiden Mumbai-Madurai flight 9W 336 departed Mumbai at 1005 hrs. and arrived at Madurai 1300 hrs. The return flight 9W 357 departed with a full complement of guests at 1335 hrs. from Madurai and reached Mumbai at 1535 hrs.
Similarly, flight 9W 791 departed Mumbai at 1005 hrs and arrived at Bagdogra Airport at 1300 hrs while the return flight 9W 792 left Bagdogra at 1335 hrs and arrived in the financial capital at 1635 hrs.
The new service is part of Jet Airways’ strategy to introduce direct flights between metros and emerging cities across India.
The airline’s continued expansion of its domestic network indicates its strong confidence to connect and offer greater choice of destinations to its guests.
