Jet Airways, one of India’s premier international airlines, will operate new daily service between Mangaluru and Sharjah effective August 7, 2016. The addition of this new service will bolster Jet Airways offering to the Gulf market. With the addition of Sharjah, Jet Airways will connect Mangaluru with three cities in Gulf.

Additionally, with a large number of Indians travelling from Mangaluru to Gulf, Jet Airways has expanded the connectivity options from various cities across India to Gulf. Likewise, inbound guests from Sharjah would be able to enjoy domestic connections over Mangaluru.
Gaurang Shetty, Whole-time Director, Jet Airways said, “It is indeed a proud moment for us at Jet Airways to launch our flight between Mangaluru and Sharjah. We are confident that our approach to provide direct global linkages with emerging Indian metros, will be popular to those living in these cities and Indians working in the Gulf and beyond. With economic ties between the India and Gulf region flourishing, Jet Airways recognises the need to provide connectivity options to its guests.”
