Jet Airways Konnect, the new all-economy-class arm of Jet Airways, based in Mumbai, India, is starting five new services. Four of Jet Airways Konnect’s new services will be from Kolkata in eastern India to other cities in eastern India. The fifth service will be on the Kolkata-Bangalore route. Jet Airways Konnect said in a statement that it aims to increase air connectivity with north-eastern India with flights on the Kolkata-Jorhat, Kolkata-Agartala, Kolkata-Guwahati, and Guwahati-Agartala sectors. Jet Airways Konnect was launched as recently as May 8, 2009. At present, the all-economy-class airline operates a fleet of 6 ATR 72-500 aircraft and 2 Boeing 737-800 planes. Jet Airways Konnect, which offers fares lower than its full-service parent airline Jet Airways, currently connects four major metros in India – Mumbai, Delhi, Banglaore and Chennai to a number of destinations across the country, including Kochi, Pune, Hyderabad, Coimbatore, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Bhopal and Amritsar.
Wolfgang Prock-Schauer, CEO of Jet Airways, explained that “there is latent demand for a quality, all-economy-class service on several key domestic routes.” “With the successful introduction of Jet Airways Konnect’s new service based on strong demand,” Prock-Schauer added, “we are confident that our new flights will be in perfect sync with prevailing passenger needs and will be received very well.” Jet Airways Konnect flies to Bhopal, Udaipur, Ahmedabad, Bhavnagar, Jodhpur, Chennai, Kochi, Vadodara and Jaipur, from Mumbai.
