Jet Airways is getting a passage to China. With the whole world looking at China as the new emerging superpower, India’s largest private carrier plans to connect Mumbai and Delhi to Shanghai and Beijing and from there on to different US destinations ahead of the 2008 Olympics. This move is aimed at targeting the large number of business travelers who visit China frequently, particularly software professionals commuting between India, US and China. Once this happens, Naresh Goyal’s airline will be the second carrier to fly to China, after Air-India. As of now, Jet can fly directly to China, but it is yet to secure landing rights in the US, but, hopefully, the airline will get clearance from the US Civil Aviation Authorities within a year. Earlier, Jet had plans to fly to New York in 2005, but the plans got scuttled after a controversy. Jet also plans to open up its services to other countries in Europe, which is becoming a hot ticket destination for India. By the end of this year, flights to Zurich will probably be operational; and then there will be more sectors. Watch this space!
