Etihad Airways, Jet Airways launch strategic partnership
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 30 - 10 - 2016

ETIHAD Airways has announced the expansion of scheduled services between Abu Dhabi and India as strategic partner Jet Airways unveiled new routes and additional frequencies to further strengthen their partnership in one of the world's fastest growing aviation markets.
From early 2017, the two airlines will expand their services between the United Arab Emirates and India by adding 28 weekly flights and three further Indian cities. These will enhance connections between India and the rest of the world though Etihad Airways' convenient Abu Dhabi hub, and complement Jet Airways' non-stop services to other cities.
Etihad Airways currently operates 175 weekly flights between Abu Dhabi and 11 Indian cities. Together, Etihad Airways and Jet Airways offer 252 weekly flights between Abu Dhabi and 15 cities across India. With the newly-announced flights, the airlines' cooperative services will cover 18 Indian cities with 280 flights each week.
Etihad Airways will launch a fourth daily flight between Abu Dhabi and Kozhikode on March 26 , 2017, capitalizing on the strong traffic flows between the state of Kerala and the UAE, and beyond. The additional capacity will allow the partnership to better serve the important southern India market.
Etihad Airways will also double its frequency between Abu Dhabi and Ahmedabad in the western state of Gujarat, from Feb. 1, 2017 with the launch of a new daily service.
Jet Airways has announced a number of changes to its operations between India and Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates.
These include the launch of daily flights between Tiruchirappalli (Trichy), in the state of Tamil Nadu, and Abu Dhabi on Feb. 1, 2017, offering travellers another option from southern India.
Jet Airways will also introduce daily services from Kannur, the fourth Kerala gateway to Abu Dhabi. It also plans daily services from the northern Indian city of Chandigarh to Abu Dhabi, which will benefit travellers to and from the state of Punjab. The two routes are due to begin in the second half of 2017, subject to the completion of operational readiness at these airports.
From Jan. 15, 2017, Jet Airways will introduce a second daily service between New Delhi and Abu Dhabi. With Etihad Airways already operating three flights a day between the two capital cities, the enhanced operation will give guests a wider choice of departure times.
In 2015, Etihad Airways and Jet Airways together carried a record 3.3 million passengers between Abu Dhabi and India – a 63 percent increase over the 2 million passengers flown in 2014. The combined operation enjoys the biggest share of passenger traffic to and from India, one of the world's biggest economies.
Etihad Airways contributed 717,966 guests to Jet Airways' flights for the 12 months to August 2016, a 57 percent increase on the same period last year. And Jet Airways contributed 396,288 guests to Etihad Airways' flights over the same period, a 33 percent increase on the corresponding period last year.
