Jet Airways settles on Brussels as hub for Europe, US flights
23 Apr 2007
The new arrangement has been facilitated through a new code-sharing agreement between the Mumbai-registered company and Belgium's Brussels Airlines.
The code-sharing deal will be signed by Jet Airways president Naresh Goyal and Brussels Airline chief Philippe Vander Putten in the Belgian capital on May 2 at a ceremony to be attended by Belgian prime minister Guy Verhofstadt. The formal announcement regarding the hub is expected to be made at the same time.
The hub moves will allow Jet Airways to expand operations across Europe and also into the United States and Canada. The airline currently flies only to London's Heathrow.
