One of India’s premier international airline, Jet Airways announced on Tuesday it is expanding its operations between Kuwait and Mumbai.

“The new flight will provide seamless connectivity to guests flying to our international hub in Mumbai, as well as onwards on Jet Airways’ South India domestic network and to Hong Kong, Singapore, Bangkok, Dhaka, Kathmandu and Colombo,” he was further quoted in the airline’s press release.
The press release also specified the Boeing 737-800 will operate the new service between the two regions. Premiere and Economy travel class will be offered, keeping in mind the needs of both luxury seekers as well as budget travellers who prefer relatively cheap flight deals.
