Thiruvananthapuram.
The new service will operate four days a week - Sundays,
Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays - and provide onward
connections from and to Kathmandu and Dhaka as well as to
some leading destinations on the domestic network through
the Indira Gandhi International Airport. The introduction
of this new service to Dammam will further strengthen Jet

of the leading carriers on the Indo-Gulf sector.

hrs (local time) and arrive Delhi at 0615 hrs (LT next
day). On the return leg, 9W 568 will depart Delhi at 2035
hrs (LT) and arrive Dammam at 2255 hrs (LT) providing
seamless connections to and from international and
domestic destinations on the airline's network.
The airline will deploy a Boeing 737-800 aircraft on this
route, offering Premiere and Economy guests an in-flight
product that is among the best in its class, warm
service, award-winning in-flight entertainment, as well
as delectable cuisine. The service will complement the
airline's existing Gulf operations to Abu Dhabi, Bahrain,
Dubai, Doha, Kuwait and Sharjah as well as Jeddah and
Riyadh.
Mr Sudheer Raghavan, Chief Commercial Officer, Jet
Airways said: "The airline has already established itself
as a prominent brand in the highly competitive Indo-Gulf
sector on account of the warmth and quality of its
inflight product. We are confident that the new service
will equally prove popular with our guests. The service
will also provide convenient connections from and to
