Buoyed by strong customer demand, effective May 20, 2009, Jet Airways Konnect, Jet Airways’ new all-economy service, will enhance its network to include five new services, including four new services from Kolkata. The airline will enhance air connectivity within North Eastern India with the introduction of its services on the Kolkata - Jorhat, Kolkata - Agartala, Kolkata - Guwahati and Guwahati - Agartala sectors, while linking two key cities in Eastern and Southern India with the introduction of its new Kolkata-Bengaluru service.

Jet Airways Konnect currently links four major metros - Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru and Chennai to several destinations across India, including Kochi, Pune, Hyderabad, Coimbatore, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Bhopal and Amritsar.

According to Mr. Wolfgang Prock-Schauer, CEO, Jet Airways, “There is latent demand for a quality, all-economy service on several key domestic routes. With the successful introduction of Jet Airways Konnect's new service, and based on strong demand, we are confident that our new flights are in perfect sync with prevailing passenger needs, and will be very well received.”

The Jet Airways Konnect service currently operates a fleet of six ATR 72-500 and two Boeing 737-800 aircraft on key domestic routes across India.
