JETSTAR and Jet Airways have signed an interline agreement, aimed at making flight transfers between India and Asia-Pacific destinations more seamless.
By flying through Jetstar’s hub in Singapore, Jet Airways’ passengers travelling from locations including New Delhi and Mumbai can easily connect to destinations in Japan, China, Vietnam, Australia and New Zealand.
Through this partnership, Jet Airways customers will be able to book a single combined ticket on Jetstar, Jetstar Asia or Jetstar Pacific flights as part of a single integrated transaction and travel itinerary sold on a Jet Airways e-ticket. This applies to customers who purchase via travel consultants or through Jet Airways’ reservations call centre.
Jetstar will accommodate the existing baggage allowance offered on Jet Airways’ flights. For international-international flights, bags will be through-tagged. Complimentary offerings such as meals and comfort packs will be provided on connecting Jetstar longhaul services.
Jet Airways COO, Sudheer Raghavan, said passenger loads between India and Asia-Pacific were “growing”.
Added Jetstar Group COO, David Koczkar: “India is one of the region’s strongest travel markets and a top inbound market for both Singapore and Australia. This innovative agreement will allow both airlines to cater for the growing appetite for air travel from the emerging Indian middle class.”
