This distinction was conferred upon Mr. Goyal for his significant contribution to India-UK business relations and for making the UK a strategic and pivotal destination in Jet Airways’ aggressive international expansion plans.

Accepting the award from the British High Commissioner Sir Richard Stagg, before an august gathering of senior business leaders from the two countries, Mr. Goyal later expressed, “I am deeply honoured and humbled to receive this award. At Jet Airways, we are committed to re-defining the international travel experience with our acclaimed in-flight product and service standards. UK was our first long-haul venture and continues to be popular with our international travellers, for both business and leisure."

Jet Airways currently operates four daily services to London Heathrow from three gateway points in India - twice daily from Mumbai, and daily from Delhi and Amritsar.
