Jet Airways to launch Mumbai - Dhaka Flights

India’s Jet Airways is to launch new, direct services between Mumbai and Dhaka on 23 December 2009. The new service will be operated with state-of-the-art Boeing 737-800 aircraft.

The route will be Jet Airways’ third flight to Bangladesh from India, and will connect Dhaka with several destinations across North America, Europe and the ASEAN region, as well as eight destinations across the Gulf.

The airline currently flies daily from Delhi and Kolkata to Dhaka.

The new Mumbai-Dhaka flight will initially operate 6 days a week, with the exception of Tuesdays. Effective 29 March 2010, it will be a daily flight.

Flight 9W 276 will depart Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport at 08:30, arriving in Dhaka’s Zia International Airport at 13:00. Flight 9W 275 will then depart Dhaka at 14:30, arriving in Mumbai at 16:10.

Mr. Nikos Kardassis, Acting CEO, Jet Airways, said, “Jet Airways offers travelers seamless connections to several destinations across India, as well as the Gulf, North America, Europe and ASEAN, over its hubs in Mumbai and Delhi. The launch of our new Mumbai-Dhaka service will thus connect Dhaka to the world, via Mumbai, while further enhancing air connectivity on the busy India-Bangladesh sector.”
