Airline plans new link to India
Jan 11 2006

PASSENGERS looking to fly from Birmingham to the sub continent have been handed a boost with news that an airline is planning a frequent new service.

Jet Airways is hoping to operate an Amritsar to Birmingham International Airport direct service four times a week.

Peter Luethi, chief operating officer, said the airline has already applied for the rights to operate the service from the Indian government.

Mr Luethi said: "We will start operations as soon as we obtain the permission from government. We are also looking at starting operations to European and North American destinations after fleet enhancement."

At present, Jet Airways operates services to London.

Jet Airlines says that according to aviation industry analysts, there has been a sharp rise in the number of passengers travelling from Punjab to Birmingham.

Currently there is a route operated from Amritsar to Birmingham by Air India.

Does this mean they are still planning on operating A343s on the route?
