December 07, 2007: Jet Airways, India’s premier airline, announces the introduction of a new Kolkata-Ahmedabad service with the operation of three flights a week and additional frequency on the Kolkata – Guwahati sector, effective December 17, 2007.
These flights will operate with a Boeing 737-800 aircraft with 24 seats in Premiere Class and 120 seats in Economy Class.
Jet Airways’ flights 9W 631 (Kolkata –Ahmedabad) will depart on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from Kolkata at 1820 hrs and arrive at Ahmedabad at 2050 hrs. On the return leg, flight 9W 632 (Ahmedabad-Kolkata) will depart Ahmedabad at 2125 hrs and arrive at Kolkata at 2355 hrs.
Jet Airways also announces the enhancement of its frequency on Kolkata – Guwahati sector by introducing additional frequencies three times a week. Jet Airways flight 9W 627 (Kolkata-Guwahati) will depart on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays from Kolkata at 1820 hrs and arrive at Guwahati at 1930 hrs. On the return leg, flight 9W 628 (Guwahati-Kolkata) will depart Guwahati at 2005 hrs and arrive at Kolkata at 2115 hrs.
Commenting on the introduction of these new services, Mr. Wolfgang Prock-Schauer said, “As Jet Airways’ hub in Eastern India, Kolkata is very important. To cater to mainly business and religious traffic between Kolkata and Ahmedabad, Jet Airways has introduced a new flight on this sector. On the Kolkata-Guwahati sector, Jet Airways already handles primarily business, as also medical and student traffic with its two morning flights. The airline has thus introduced a new evening flight on the Kolkata-Guwahati sector with a Boeing 737-800 aircraft, especially scheduled to allow Jet Airways’ passengers travelling on this sector a convenient same-day return option.”
