Jet Airways will launch its daily direct services to Kuwait from Mumbai, effective March 29, 2009. The company announced in a press statement on Thursday. This will be the airline’s second daily service to Kuwait from India, complementing the airline’s existing Kochi-Kuwait service.
Jet Airways will operate the new flight aboard a state-of-the-art Boeing 737-800 aircraft. Flight 9W 572 will depart Mumbai at 1900 hrs, arriving in Kuwait at 2030 hrs. Flight 9W 571 will then depart Kuwait at 2130 hrs and arrive in Mumbai at 0400 hrs.
According to Mr. Wolfgang Prock-Schauer, CEO, Jet Airways, “Jet Airways has already established itself as a formidable brand in the intensely competitive India-Gulf sector in a relatively short period of time, on account of the warmth of its service and quality of its in-flight product. We are confident that the new Mumbai-Kuwait service will prove similarly popular with passengers.”
In addition to Kuwait, Jet Airways also flies daily from India to Bahrain, Muscat, Doha, Dubai and Abu Dhabi in the Middle East.
The application is however awaiting government approval.
