Announcing the launch of these services, Mr. Wolfgang Prock-Schauer, CEO, Jet Airways said, “In a remarkably short span of time, Jet Airways has established a dominant presence on the important Kerala-West Asia sector, on the strength of its superior in-flight product and service standards. In a bid to further enhance its connectivity on this sector, and in line with passenger demand, the airline is proud to be the first private Indian airline to connect Muscat and Thiruvananthapuram.”
