Jet Airways voted India’s best airline

Jet Airways, India’s premiere airline, has bagged yet another prestigious award for the third consecutive year and fourth time in the past five years by being voted India’s best airline at the 17th Annual Travel Awards 2006 in Pattaya, Thailand recently.

This is the fifth award in different international and national categories that Jet Airways has been conferred with in the last two months, the airline said. The airline was voted India’s leading airline at the World Travel Awards and won two Avion Awards for its in-flight entertainment last month.

The award, based on a survey amongst the readers of TTG Asia and voting by peers in the travel & tourism industry, honours the most distinguished travel organizations amongst 14 countries in the Asia Pacific region, including China.

Commenting on winning this award, Mr. Wolfgang Prock-Schauer, Chief Executive Officer, Jet Airways, said, “We are proud to receive this prestigious industry accolade for the fourth time in five years. It is our dedicated commitment in providing the highest levels of service, both on ground and in-flight and perseverance for setting benchmarks of customer service in the Indian aviation industry that has repeatedly earned us the TTG Travel Asia Award and is thereby a vindication of sorts for our corporate philosophy.”

Jet Airways currently operates a fleet of 45 classic and next generation Boeing 737-400/700/800/900 aircraft, 3 Airbus A340-300E aircraft, 1 Airbus A330-200 aircraft and 8 modern ATR 72-500 turboprop aircraft.
