Jet Airways Konnect launches new sectors


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.
