MUMBAI – Jet Airways, India’s premier international airline, is set to further expand its operations between India and Oman with the launch of a new daily flight between Delhi and Muscat. The addition of this new flight from the airline’s strategic hub in Delhi will further strengthen the airline’s growing international network and enhance flight connectivity from Northern India, SAARC and ASEAN and to the Gulf region.
With effect from March 21, 2016, Jet Airways will launch a new daily flight between Delhi and Muscat, providing greater choice for guests travelling from India to Oman.
