Jet Airways will stop direct service from Doha to three destinations in Kerala, India. At the same time, the airline will increase the frequency to two other Indian metro cities, reported thepeninsula.
The carriers will discontinue its non-stop flight administration to Kozhikode, Thiruvananthapuram and Kochi.
Rather, there might be one-stop flights to these cities, making Mumbai and Delhi as hubs. Moreover, the aircraft will expand its frequency to Mumbai and Delhi from Doha beginning December 5. The expanded frequencies will be for Doha-Mumbai at 2255 hours, Mumbai-Doha at 2030 hours, Doha-Delhi at 0250 hours and Delhi-Doha at 2355 hours.
This move comes after the carrier posted its September quarter income, where the organization declared a loss of Rs12.61 billion and so announced a turnaround plan with focus on strengthening the hubs.
As per an authority at the Jet Airways office in Doha, the service to Kozhikode, Thiruvananthapuram and Kochi will be discontinued after December 3.
Meanwhile, the Jet Airways website shows that most direct flights will be routed via Mumbai and Delhi starting tomorrow except for a few direct routes that will continue for another two weeks. For some, the Jet Airways plan has come in to compel at such a period when they would visit their local town in Kerala for Spring break.
A frequent flyer said that this will increase the travel time since the flights have a minimum layover of about 2 hours, increasing up to 7 to 8 hours. Voicing an opinion common among many he said, "I would rather take one of the low-cost airlines that offer direct flight than waste my time on a one-stop flight."
