New Delhi : Jet Airways, India’s largest private carrier, will fly from Delhi to Toronto with a stopover at its European hub in Brussels five times a week starting Sep 5.
The airline recently launched its flight to Newark, New York from Mumbai via Brussels. It is also planning to start its services to Johannesburg in October and to the JFK airport in New York in November.
“We would soon start our services to Johannesburg in October and to JFK by November. We are also looking at starting our services from Bangalore by the end of this year. Once that is done, the Delhi-Toronto flight would be changed to Delhi-JFK and the Bangalore one would connect Toronto,” Jet Airways executive director Saroj Datta told a press conference here Thursday.
For its Toronto flight the airline will use Airbus 330-200, which has been especially designed and configured for international operations with 30 premier class seats and 190 economy class seats.
The airline last year ordered 10 Boeing B787 Dreamliner aircraft at a cost of $1.6 billion that will be delivered in 2011. It has also announced its plans to invest $3.7 billion for its expansion plans.
