Jet Airways,  a leading international airline based in India, has achieved a major milestone – the induction of the 100th aircraft into its fleet. The airline accepted a brand-new, next generation Boeing 737-800 with sky interiors in Seattle on November 15, 2011.

The 100th aircraft will be the third all-new Boeing 737-800 configured with eight Premiere and 162 economy seats, and will commence commercial operations from December 5, 2011.

New improved passenger service units, a significantly quieter cabin with Sky Interiors and pivot bins designed for greater overhead bin capacity will further enhance guests comfort.

Nikos Kardassis, Chief Executive Officer of Jet Airways, said: “The delivery of our 100th aircraft is a major milestone for everyone at Jet Airways.

The airline has always chosen to utilize the very best in next-generation avionics to ensure superior quality, reliable service and above all customer satisfaction.

We were the very first airline in India to fly the fuel-efficient Boeing 737-300 aircraft in Indian skies, and later, the first airline in Asia to fly the next-generation Boeing 737-800, barely seven months after its commercial induction in the United States. We are also happy to have worked closely with GE Capital Aviation Services (GECAS) as a partner since 1995 and look forward to more fruitful affiliation in the years to come, as Jet Airways expands its domestic and international network.

”

With the acquisition of its 100th aircraft, Jet Airways will fly to 76 destinations in India and around the globe, making it one of the fastest-growing airlines in the world.
