Jet Airways has caught everybody's eye for being repeatedly acknowledged as India's 'Best Domestic Airline and has bagged several national and international awards. Being one of the fastest growing airlines in the world, it offers multiple choices to International and Domestic destinations.

India's Jet Airways, India's largest carrier by market share, said on Thursday it has formed an agreement with high-speed train operator Thalys for a rail service between Brussels and Paris, Jet's first intermodal code share.

Under the code share, Jet Airways will place its marketing code on the Thalys-operated direct train service between the train station at Brussels Airport and Paris Nord, it said.

Jet, which offers six daily flights to India and North America from its European hub in Brussels, said the code share will apply for travel starting October 30.

 

 

 

 

 
"We look forward to extending partnership with Thalys to more European cities in the near future," Nikos Kardasiss Jet Airways chief executive, said in a statement.

Jet Airways' international operations, which have seen load factors of more than 80 percent, currently account for about 57 percent of total sales.

The carrier had posted a much lower-than-expected June quarter net loss on better revenue and a one-time gain, but the carrier cautioned high fuel and intense competition hurt performance.

Jet Airways has daily flights to India from London to India and Birmingham to India. It is a travel experience where warm Indian hospitality impeccably blends with international expertise. Jet Airways, is India's premier airline, linking India with UK.
