October 10, 2008: In light of the downturn in major economies worldwide, more specifically in the USA and UK, Jet Airways plans to optimize its network, focusing more on its established international gateways and routes.
As part of the same, the airline’s Mumbai-Shanghai-San Francisco route will be discontinued effective January 13, 2009.
Passenger traffic between India and San Francisco will be served via Jet Airways’ London gateway in cooperation with partner airlines.
Jet Airways has already announced a code share partnership with United Airlines with convenient connections between Mumbai and several US points via London in both directions. This will enable Jet Airways to continue to serve its San Francisco customers, under a 9W flight number, in a more economically viable manner.
