Jet Airways will fly to Bangkok

MUMBAI: Jet Airways would be expanding its overseas business over the next few months by connecting more cities, its chief executive officer Wolfgang Prock-Schauer said on Thursday.

The airline, which currently flies to London, Kuala Lumpur, Kathmandu, and Colombo, would add Bangkok to the list of international destinations.  Prock-Schauer said the airline is awaiting approvals to begin one flight a day from Delhi and Kolkata each to the Thailand capital.

Jet has got approval to begin the Amritsar-London service which is expected to be operational in the next two months. Also on the cards is a second Mumbai-London flight.

Jet still hasn’t received the go-ahead to fly to the US. According to a senior company official, since Jet doesn’t have spare wide-bodied planes, the US services are expected to be launched during the summer of 2007.

Jet on Thursday launched the kiosk check-in facility which would allow its domestic passengers to print their boarding passes. In the first phase, five of these kiosks, costing about $10,000 a piece, would be installed at Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore airports.
