India's Jet Airways wins Award for 'Emerging Company of the Year'

India's Jet Airways has been honoured with the ‘Emerging Company of the Year Award for 2004-2005' at The Economic Times Awards for Corporate Excellence.

Jet Airways has pioneered many services in the Indian Aviation industry, from Braille safety manuals for visually impaired passengers, to E-ticketing and Web Check-in. It holds the merit of being a fully IATA E-compliant airline in India for the past one and a half years.

The award is particularly significant at this crucial stage when Jet Airways is surging forward in its endeavour to expand in the international market.

In addition to the Purchase Agreement with Boeing last month for the acquisition of 10 B777-300 ER aircraft, the airline has recently executed a Purchase Agreement for 10 Airbus A 330-200 aircraft with an option for 10 more. The first of these aircraft will fly in the Jet Airways livery in the first quarter of 2007.

Jet Airways has also recently concluded Frequent Flyer Programme partnerships with international carriers such as Gulf Air and Qantas Airways thereby giving its passengers added value and benefits. 

Earlier this year the company sold 20% of its equity through an IPO, raising about $444m.
