Jet Airways Reports Strong Growth in Australia

 India’s Jet Airways has reported a massive 188% year-on-year increase in passenger ticketed bookings from Australia.

Although the airline does not operate its own aircraft to Australia, it does offer a daily codeshare service with Qantas, from Sydney to Singapore. From there, Jet operates its own flights to the Indian international gateway cities of Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai.

The latest sales figures, for the first half of 2011, reflect the continued surge in traffic between Australia and India, one of the world’s fastest growing economies.

Jet Airways flies to 76 destinations, 52 within India and 24 internationally, and operates a fleet of 100 aircraft, including wide-bodied Boeing 777-300ER and Airbus A330-200 twinjets, next-generation Boeing 737s and ATR 72-500 regional turboprops.
