Jet Airways to Launch New Delhi - Milan Flights

India’s Jet Airways is to launch daily non-stop flights between New Delhi and Milan in Italy from 5 December 2010.

The service will make Milan the twenty-fourth international destination on Jet Airways’ network. The new route will be operated with Airbus 330-200 aircraft, configured in two classes, with 30 seats in Première (Business Class) and 190 seats in Economy.

With Milan strategically located at the heart of Central Europe, Jet Airways’ daily non-stop service will allow its passengers enhanced connectivity from Milan to several Italian cities like Florence, Rome, Venice and Pisa, besides easy access to other European destinations like Paris, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Helsinki, Lisbon, Madrid, Zurich, Vienna, Belgrade and Budapest in conjunction with its interline partners.

This new flight will also effectively utilize New Delhi’s new state-of-the-art Terminal 3, as an operational hub offering connectivity to and from India. Passengers travelling from Milan to India will be able to connect to over 42 destinations on Jet Airways' network within India and will also have access to travel onwards to Jet Airways' destinations of Kathmandu, Dhaka, Colombo and further onto Asian destinations like Singapore, Bangkok, and Hong Kong.

Flight 9W 142 will depart Delhi at 12:55, arriving in Milan at 18:00. On the return leg, flight 9W 141 will depart Milan at 21:25, arriving in Delhi at 09:55.

 “Jet Airways is delighted to bridge two ancient and historical civilizations, which now play a very important role in the twenty first century. Milan – a truly international and cosmopolitan city is recognized globally, as not only the fashion and design capital of the world but also as the engine room of the Italian economy,” said Mr. Nikos Kardassis, CEO, Jet Airways. “We are confident that Jet Airways will soon emerge as the preferred carrier on this popular route given our unparalleled network in India and ever expanding international footprint. Milan, as indeed the European Union is an important market for us and we are convinced of capturing and growing the market. We believe that this new route has the potential to serve the needs of our discerning corporate and leisure travelers.”
