Johannesburg: Jet Airways, India’s premier airline which launched its Johannesburg-Mumbai route in April last year, has earned three prestigious awards in as many months.
These awards all recognize and honour the best in the airline and travel industry internationally and within India, and are added to a list of some one hundred accolades and prizes conferred on the airline since 1993.
Jet Airways has five flights per week between Johannesburg and Mumbai and in December last year was declared the ‘Airline with the Best Business Class Service in the World’ at the Business Traveller Awards 2010 in Los Angeles.
“Clearly, Jet Airways is the best way to travel from South Africa to India,” says Rajiv Malhotra, General Manager of Jet Airways in South Africa. “There is no better business class service between Johannesburg and Mumbai.”
Renowned for the warmth and hospitality of its acclaimed in-flight service, a reflection of the high standards of the airline's rigorous in-flight training procedures, Jet Airways has emerged victorious over several of the world's leading airlines, and, over domestic airlines within India.
In early February, Jet Airways was selected as a Power Brand among leading corporate enterprises in India.
Says Malhotra: “Power Brands of India is a list of the top 200 brands of India and the award is constituted by Planman Marcom.”
In January, the airline was adjudged the winner of the coveted Customer and Brand Loyalty Award 2011 in the Domestic Commercial Airlines Sector for the fourth consecutive year, and on 13th January, Jet Airways Group Chairman, Naresh Goyal, was conferred the prestigious “Hall of Fame” Award at the Hotel Investment Forum India 2011 in Mumbai.
“This marked the first time that a non-hotelier was accorded the prominent award – certainly a departure from tradition by the Hotel Investment Forum India,” adds Malhotra.
The airline offers its Premiere (Business Class) guests a world-class in-flight product, including unique, herringbone-configured 180 degree-flat seats, superb in-flight entertainment, fine wines and an overwhelming selection of Indian and international cuisine.
Mr Sudheer Raghavan, Chief Commercial Officer, Jet Airways, says: “The Business Traveller Awards 2010 are widely respected across the tourism and trade industry and we were delighted to receive this international honour.
“At Jet Airways, we are committed to offering our guests the very best travel experience in the skies, and awards such as these stand testimony to the quality of our services and encourage us to further raise the bar in customer service excellence.”
Jet Airways currently operates a fleet of 95 aircraft, which includes 10 Boeing 777-300 ER aircraft, 12 Airbus A330-200 aircraft, 55 next generation Boeing 737-700/800/900 aircraft and 18 modern ATR 72-500 turboprop aircraft.
With an average fleet age of 4.97 years, the airline has one of the youngest aircraft fleets in the world.
