Jet plans India-China-US flights

Mumbai: India’s largest private carrier, Jet Airways, plans to launch services ahead of the 2008 Olympics, to China, from where it plans to fly to the USA next year.
Once operational, Jet would be the second Indian carrier after Air-India to offer services to the eastern neighbour.
While the airline can fly directly to China, it is yet to get landing rights in the USA. The Jet chief expressed confidence that the airline would get clearance from the US Civil Aviation Authorities within a year.
On operations to China, a top Jet Airways official said: “We are not just looking at the Olympic boom. It will not last... What we are really looking at is to tap the large business travellers, especially software professionals flying between India, the USA and China”.
The airline is also planning a slew of direct flights to various European destinations this year and next year.
