Brussels (Belgium): India's largest private airline company Jet Airways will make a stopover in Brussels for its flights between Mumbai and New York in the US, according to local media reports.
The service that is due to start this August will provide the first direct air link between Belgium and India, says INEP.
At present travellers to India from Belgium have to take connecting flights from other cities including Paris, Frankfurt and Amsterdam.
Next to the link Mumbai-Brussels-New York, Jet Airways also intends to start a connection between New Delhi and Toronto before 2007-end.
This connection will also have a stop over in Brussels, "Flandernews.com" reported.
However, in the Jet Airways office in Brussels there was nobody to confirm the report as the management was in a meeting.
The tourism minister from the Flanders region of Belgium, Geert Bourgeois, currently visiting India, met Indian tourism minister Ambika Soni and the management of Jet Airways in Mumbai.
Since 2002, the number of outbound Indian tourists has annually grown by 12 per cent. It is estimated that by 2010, some 11.5 million Indians will take a holiday abroad.
