Jet Airways to start daily flights to Amsterdam from March 27

The relocation of Jet Airways European gateway to the Dutch capital Amsterdam from Brussels will enhance and strengthen the connection between India and the Netherlands, airline chairman Naresh Goyal said today.

“Delighted to enhance & strengthen the connect between India & the Netherlands,” Goyal said at a press conference at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, which was later tweeted by the airline. The Mumbai-headquartered airline is all set to commence its daily non-stop services between India and Amsterdam from March 27.

“On March 27, we’ll finally say, Welkom aan boord to our guests from Amsterdam,” Goyal said. Jet Airways had started the Brussels hub in 2007 and operating multiple flights to the Belgian city from Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai and Bengaluru at some point.

“Our daily non-stop flights to usher a stronger, more prosperous shared future between India & the Netherlands,” the airline said in another tweet adding that it was look forward to welcome the flyers to and from Amsterdam onboard its flights. The airline has already announced commencement of two daily non-stop flights, one each from its domestic hubs — Mumbai and New Delhi — to the Dutch capital from March 27.

Besides, Jet Airways has also entered into a codeshare pact with KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Delta Airlines for providing seamless air connectivity to its passengers flying to key destinations across Europe and North America over Amsterdam. Code-sharing allows an airline to book its passengers on its partner carriers and provide seamless transport to multiple destinations where it has no presence.

Besides, it will also operate a daily flight from Toronto in Canada to Amsterdam.

“With our partners @KLM & @Delta, connecting India to 30 destinations across Europe & 11 destinations in North America.. Fly from 50+ cities in Europe to our wide network in India and beyond to Asian destinations, ” Jet Airways said.
