Media Release
Dubai, Apr 28: Jet Airways, India’s full-service, premiere international airline, will mark International Labour Day by offering discounted fares on its direct flights from United Arab Emirates to destinations in India, SAARC and the ASEAN regions.
The carrier will offer guests a discount of 12 percent on base fare, applicable on tickets booked online via www.jetairways.com or its mobile App, between April 29 and May 1. Tickets booked as part of the promotion will be valid for anytime travel (subject to applicable terms and conditions including blackouts). This means, guests will be eligible for the discount regardless of their date of travel, for tickets booked within the three-day window.
The special fares will be applicable only on direct flights operated by Jet Airways, for both one-way and return journeys.
The United Arab Emirates plays host to a large Indian population that lives and works here with family and friends residing in India. The special fare ‘pay day’ promotion around the International Labour Day, is a perfect opportunity for people to travel and connect with their loved ones, echoing Jet Airways’ ‘Think Home, Think Jet Airways’ philosophy, emphasising the role that the airline, with its extensive network spanning 65 global destinations, plays in bringing families together.”
Shakir Kantawala, vice president - Gulf, Middle East and Africa, Jet Airways, said, “We wanted to give the Indian diaspora in the UAE a reason to celebrate this International Labour Day. Many are looking forward to the holiday and reuniting with family and friends back home, and our promotional fares are just a small way of facilitating that. 'Guest First' initiatives such as these will undoubtedly help reinforce our home connect for guests whenever they take to the Gulf skies helping us in strengthening our position as the preferred airline on the Indo-Gulf route.”
The UAE and India have been working closely to expand their existing bilateral cooperation in several areas, including trade, investment and commerce, security and defence as well as education, media and communication. These industries continue to contribute largely to growth in air travel between the two nations.
Currently operating 21 flights between the UAE and India, Jet Airways is the preferred choice of airline for the Indian diaspora when travelling home and beyond to the SAARC and ASEAN regions. Named India’s best airline in the recent TripAdvisor’s Travellers Choice Awards for 2017, Jet Airways connects to 45 destinations in India, aside from convenient onward connections in SAARC and ASEAN regions to Colombo, Dhaka, Kathmandu, Hong Kong, Singapore and Bangkok via direct daily flights from its hub in Mumbai.
