Jet Airways announced on Thursday that it has entered into an arrangement with Thalys high-speed rail service between Brussels and Paris. This is the first time the airline has entered into an intermodal codeshare.

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

Guests can now book a combined Thalys-train ticket between Paris and India or US and Canada via Brussels with Jet Airways through travel agencies or via the Jet Airways Web site.

This code-share service is available for sale, for travel starting from October 30. This new service is a result of the coordinated effort of Jet Airways, Brussels Airlines, Thalys–the rail partner and Brussels Airport.

For Brussels Airport, situated 17 km of the Brussels-South station, this direct connection with Paris, by a high-speed international train like Thalys, marks an important step in the ease of access strategy.
