    That was really a good news! and hope Jet Airways will soon connect Dubai-Mangalore sector in their international network. The demand for Air India Express online booking ever since its inception shows that there is still scope for other operators in this sector. It would surely be beneficial for the passengers to have an option, and a competition for the national carrier! Looking forward!
