Jet to ramp up int'l flight connections

The country's leading private sector airline Jet Airways today said that it plans to ramp up its international flight connections from five more cities - Hyderabad, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Amrtisar and Bangalore - to connect with Brussels in Europe.

Jet Airways chairman Naresh Goyal said that it plans to add three more flights to the United States - San Francisco, Los Angeles and Washington DC - using its new planes from February 2008 onwards.

"We expect our revenues to double to $3 billion from $1.4 billion over the next three years," Goyal said.
