Jet Airways New York - New Delhi Flight

Jet Airways India Ltd announces the launch of a daily flight from New Delhi to New York’s John F Kennedy (JFK) International Airport, via its hub in Brussels.

The Company already operates daily flights on the Mumbai-Brussels-New York (Newark) sector. With the induction of this new daily Delhi-Brussels-New York (JFK) service Jet Airways will further complement and enhance the airlines' services offering its passengers a second flight to New York city.

At Brussels, flights will be synchronized in order to provide passengers a seamless transfer between Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai to cities in North America - New York (JFK), Toronto and New York (Newark).

For the Delhi - New York (JFK) flight, the Company will use a brand new Boeing 777-300 ER aircraft, which has been especially configured in a three-class configuration for international operations with 08 Suites in First Class, 30 seats in Premiere Class and 274 seats in the Economy Class which will offer unprecedented levels of luxury, privacy and comfort in the air.

With the launch of its First Class, Jet Airways has created the first airline 'suite' in the sky. Each First Class suite provides over 26sq ft of usable space and features dual sliding doors that provide complete privacy. These suites will feature the world's longest First Class bed at 83 inches and massive 20 inch flat screen monitors. The menu choices are exquisite and extensive. The finest of French Wines, Champagnes, including vintage Dom Perignon and Krug, and a library of single malt whiskies will be offered.

The new Premiere lie flat beds represent the absolute latest in airline seat technology. Featuring a 73" bed length that electronically converts to an enormous 180 degree flat bed with lumbar support and massage systems, Premiere passengers will rest in unequalled comfort.

The new Economy seat has a seat pitch of 32". It has been custom designed using the science of advanced ergonomics to create arguably the most comfortable economy seat in the sky.

The state-of-the-art In-Flight Panasonic eX2 Entertainment system offers passengers over 200 hours of Hollywood and Bollywood movies, regional films, television and short programming, audio CD covering every imaginable music genre and much, much more; all on demand.

At Brussels, the Company's First and Premiere Class passengers will be welcomed at the airline's newly inaugurated lounge, a stunning example of contemporary design. The levels of comfort offered in the lounge are arguably one of the finest in the world.
