Jet Airways, JetLite to minimise guest inconvenience

As every year, Jet Airways, India’s premier international airline, and its all-economy subsidiary JetLite, have put in place a number of measures to minimize guest inconvenience due to potential flight disruptions and cancellations on account of fog in the approaching winter season.

In case of anticipated flight delays/cancellations, guests are requested to check the status of their respective flights before leaving for the airport by calling the Jet Airways and JetLite call centres on 3989 3333, as also the airlines' toll-free numbers 1800-22-55-22 and 1800-22-30-20 respectively.

Flight status/updates can be retrieved via the airlines' Jet Mobile facility wherein guests may send an SMS: Jet (Flight number) to 56388. This service is also advertised on NDTV 24X7, India’s leading news channel.

In the event of flight disruptions due to fog, the airline will deploy additional aircraft for relief/additional flights, where possible.

In case of flight diversions, operations out of alternate airports have been planned in advance, while certain existing scheduled services have been re-routed/combined to ensure smooth operations during the fog period.

Certain Jet Airways flights have also been re-scheduled, effective December 25, 2010 to January 31, 2011, as per the table below.

In terms of flight operations, all our aircraft are equipped and maintained to national and international standards for all weather operations (AWO), and our flight crew are trained and qualified to operate under these conditions.

The airline will also provide the electronic media with regular flight updates throughout the day to ensure that passengers are constantly updated on the latest flight situations.
