Mumbai: Private carrier Jet AirwaysBSE -1.73 % today said it will operate one of its daily flights to Dubai from here with a wide body Boeing aircraft to meet growing demand on the route, starting next month.
The change in aircraft type will help Jet Airways fly an additional 178 seats on the route.
The city-headquartered full service carrier currently operates 10 daily flights between India and Dubai or 70 flights per week on this high traffic density route.
Starting August 6, Jet Airways flight 9W 544 from Mumbai to Dubai and the return leg flight 9W 543 from Dubai to Mumbai will be operated on the wide-body jetliner, Boeing 777-300ER, replacing the narrow-body B737-800, Jet Airways said in a statement.
"Dubai is amongst our most popular destinations for business and leisure travellers and it was only logical to increase capacity on flights to this key market. Deploying the 777-300ER aircraft will give our guests flying on the Mumbai-Dubai route the opportunity to sample our signature First Class hospitality for the first time, while also delivering a more superior flying experience for guests in all classes," Jet Airways whole Time Director Gaurang Shetty said.
