Jet Airways makes Guwahati as NE hub

Jet Airways has announced plans to expand its operations in the northeast and make Guwahati its regional gateway of the region.

Under its summer schedule, Jet Airways has increased the number of weekly flights between the northeast and the rest of the country to 184, adding 30 new flights weekly, the airline said in a statement.

Strengthening connectivity between Delhi and the northeast, Jet Airways has introduces non-stop services to Aizawl, Jorhat and Silchar. The airline also resumes operations from Imphal.

It has also introduced direct flights between Mumbai and Jorhat and Imphal. Imphal is also being connected with Pune through direct flights via Guwahati and Kolkata.

Vinay Dube, CEO, Jet Airways, said: “The mix of new services — both non-stop as well as direct — between emerging cities, key metros and our hubs in Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru, will not just help cater to this demand, but will also facilitate quicker and more convenient movement of guests throughout our network — in India and abroad.”
