Milan will be the second European Hub for Jet Airways

India’s largest private airline has decided to establish its second European Hub at Milan, Italy. Jet Airways currently uses Brussels as its hub to connect to Europe and North America. Jet is looking to operate flights to US through this HUB and is anticipating close association with European carriers KLM – Air France and Alitalia.

On the other hand, KLM – Air France discussions to acquire Alitalia failed couple of days back. Jet decision for Milan is a good as this airport is not congested as compare to other countries like in UK, Germany and France.

Mr. Naresh Goyal, chairman of Jet Airways said beginning of operations with Milan as a transit point is still being worked out. We are still chalking out plans as we are on major expansion, he said.

Way to go Jet!

Jet has taken a brave decision of taking Milan as second hub. The best thing is that it will have less traffic in Milan and also there are no restrictions of issues like transit visa which most of the people have while returnning back to India. This will give an edge to them comapare to oher airlines which fly to India. There will be no surprise if soon Jet airways will takeover Air india in market segments.
