SAN
FRANCISCO: Jet Airways will commence daily service out of San Francisco
International Airport to Shanghai and Mumbai from June 14, giving Bay Area
travellers another choice when flying to India.
"With the regulatory approval
process now finalised for the new route, we are very pleased to enter this new
stage of Jet Airways' North American expansion," Jet Airways founder and
chairman Naresh Goyal said.
"The launch of this new daily
flight out of San Francisco represents a momentous step not only for Jet
Airways, but for the Bay Area business community as a whole."
With this launch, Jet Airways
will become the first Indian airline to fly from San Francisco to Mumbai and
only the second airline worldwide to fly nonstop from San Francisco to Shanghai.
The flight from San Francisco
International Airport will also be the airline's fourth daily North American
departure to India, following launches of service from New York's JFK and Newark
airports, and Toronto Pearson International Airport, within the past
year.
