Emirates Airlinepartners with Jet Airways
Tuesday, 30 December 2008
Emirates Airline, the award-winning international carrier with extensive services to India, and Jet Airways, India's premier international airline, have announced their partnership plans spanning a unilateral code share agreement and a reciprocal frequent flyer arrangement.
Emirates will unilaterally share code on Jet Airways' daily flights from Mumbai and New Delhi to Dubai, giving travelers better connectivity and an expanded range of services between India and Dubai, says a press release.
Emirates' customers will have the option to travel on its four daily flights, as well as on Jet Airways' daily service between Mumbai and Dubai. Likewise, on the New Delhi-Dubai route, Emirates will offer its customers the choice of 25 flights per week on its aircraft and an additional seven flights per week on Jet Airways. Jet Airways' flights on these sectors will be identified with its '9W' code as well as with the Emirates 'EK' code.
Jet Airways flight 9W 544 (EK 6670), operated by an Airbus A330 aircraft offering 30 Business and 190 Economy Class seats, will depart Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport at 18:45 hrs daily and touch down at Dubai International Airport same day at 20:30 hrs. Return flight 9W 543 (EK 6671) will depart Dubai at 22:00 hrs and arrive in Mumbai at 02:20 hrs the following day.
Flight 9W 548 (EK 6680), operated by a Boeing 737 aircraft, will take off daily from New Delhi at 18:30 hrs landing in Dubai same day at 20:50 hrs. It will turn around as 9W 547 (EK 6681) departing Dubai at 22:35 hrs and arriving in New Delhi at 03:00 hrs the following day.
Corporate travellers will benefit as they can conclude their business in India's bustling hubs - Mumbai and New Delhi - and arrive back in Dubai by the late evening flight. Similarly, India's outbound travellers travelling to destinations beyond Dubai can take advantage of smoother connections to Europe, the Americas, Africa and the Middle East.
The two airlines have also launched a reciprocal frequent flyer arrangement that allows members of Emirates' Skywards programme to earn and redeem miles on Jet Airways flights operating within India. Members of Jet Airways' JetPrivilege programme will be able to earn and redeem miles across Emirates' rapidly expanding international network, with the exception of flights between India and Dubai.
