Jet Airways would start its operations in the gulf countries from January 5, connecting India with Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar, a senior official of the airline said.
"Jet Airways will be India's first private airline to start services to the Gulf countries with non-stop daily flights connecting India with Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar," Jet Airways Gulf regional manager Shakir Kantawala said.
Kuwait will be connected to New Delhi and Kochi, while Bahrain will have flights to Mumbai and Kochi. Doha will have flights to Mumbai and Kozhikode and Muscat will be connected to Kozhikode and Kochi.
The Indian government has not allowed
