Jet Airways to inaugurate its European hub at Brussels airport
Quote: | India's largest private airline company Jet Airways will inaugurate its European hub at Brussels' airport on May 2.
Naresh Goyal, chairman of Jet Airways, will be present at the contract signing ceremony with Brussels Airlines and Brussels Airport, while Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt will be the chief guest.
India's ambassador to Belgium and the EU, Dipak Chatterjee will grace the occasion, the Jet Airways said today.
New additions to the Jet Airway's fleet, a Boeing 777, straight from the factory in Seattle, and a brand new Airbus 330, will make a stop at Brussels Airport for the event.
Jet Airways is expected to begin its daily flight to Newark in the US with a stopover in Brussels in early August. It is also expected to launch a daily flight to Toronto with a stopover in Brussels around the end of this year.
The service will provide the first direct air link between Belgium and India.
At present travelers to India from Belgium have to take connecting flights from other cities, including Paris, Frankfurt and Amsterdam.

Wow - pretty good planning here, if they're able to bring both the new 77W and the 332 to BRU on that date for their delivery flights to India! |
