Apart this, the Group is also developing DIAL’s Terminal 3 into one of its primary international hubs which enables Jet Airways, JetLite and Jet Airways Konnect to connect over 29 domestic destinations and over ten international destinations. The step will make Jet Airways Group to become the largest domestic airline group operating more than 74 flights daily out of Delhi.
For easy access, Jet Airways’ guests can enter the Departure terminal from Gate No. 3 of the Terminal 3 (IGIA), and proceed towards the check in areas located at the B, C, D level for departure formalities. The Jet Airways Group will man 32 integrated check-in counters, located at islands C and D, for both domestic and international travel, reducing check-in time for the airline’s guests.
Through the new T3 terminal in New Delhi, Jet Airways will offer guests seamless connectivity into the SAARC, ASEAN, Gulf and Middle East Regions, UK, Europe and points in North America. Jet Airways’ newest international destinations to operate out of terminal T3 – are Colombo and Milan. The airline has introduced daily Boeing 737-800 flights from Delhi to Colombo from November 5, 2010, and will also commemorate a daily Airbus 330-200 service from Delhi to Milan from December 5, 2010
Nikos Kardassis, CEO, Jet Airways said, “The integration of domestic and international operations at this world class terminal will allow us to seamlessly transfer guests between international and domestic flights and vice versa. Going forward it will help Jet Airways transform Delhi into a critical international transit hub and I am certain that guests will benefit from the world-class infrastructure of DIAL’s Terminal 3.”
