India’s Jet Airways has launched a new daily direct service from Hyderabad to Abu Dhabi with effect from March 01, 2014.
 
In a media statement, the airline said it was offering a special inaugural all-inclusive return economy airfare of Rs22,615 (~Dh1,350) while premiere (business) class tickets are priced at an introductory fare of Rs48,578 (~Dh2,890).
 
This new flight will further strengthen Jet Airways’ growing international network in the Gulf region, thus enhancing flight connectivity beyond Abu Dhabi to immediate Gulf countries and to destinations in North America and Europe, the airline maintains.

We are confident that our airline will soon emerge as one of the first choice carriers on this popular route given our unparalleled domestic network in India and ever expanding international footprint.”
