Mar 29, 2017: Jet Airways, the country’s full-service, premiere international airline, has started direct daily flights between Mumbai and Madurai (Tamil Nadu) and Mumbai and Bagdogra (West Bengal). 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, Jet Airways said in a release. 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 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.
