Unveiling its plans for the newly created hub at Brussels, Jet Airways [Get Quote] today said it would operate five flights a day from India to the Belgian capital and provide seamless connections for onward journey to the US and Canada.
The hub would give the airline access to the entire Europe, besides allowing services to North America.
It would focus not only on connecting Indian passengers, but also carry traffic fed by Brussels Airlines from Europe and Africa for onward journey to the US and Canada.
Jet Airways has got 10 pairs of slots at the Brussels airport, which is handling only about half of its capacity of over 30 million passengers annually.
"It has got a lot of space and capacity, which we will be using. Since (Belgian carrier) Sabena closed down, the airport was being operated only by the Brussels Airlines and some American carriers. We are the only Indian carrier to be creating such a hub on foreign soil," Jet Airways Chief Naresh Goyal told PTI in an interview in Vancouver.
"Our vision is to make Jet Airways match larger carriers like Singapore Airlines and Cathay Pacific. Through this hub, we will be participating in the European market as well," he said, revealing for the first time the airline's plans about the Brussels operations.
