Boeing, Jet Airways Bring New
Look and Comfort to Paris
LE BOURGET, France, June 16, 2007 -- Displaying its new
livery, Jet Airways' recently delivered Boeing [NYSE: BA]
777-300ER arrived Saturday in Le Bourget, France, ahead of
Monday's opening of the 47th Paris Air Show.
The airplane's livery isn't
the only change for India's largest private airline. Jet
Airways' 777-300ER is fitted with a new interior, including
newly created first class suites with premiere amenities.
Each of the first class suites offers nearly 26 square feet of
usable space that can be closed off with sliding doors. The
suites feature a 23-inch flat-screen monitor, storage areas
that include a personal hanging wardrobe, dual credenzas and
under-ottoman storage, and an 83-inch bed. With a business-jet
style table, two can dine comfortably in the suite.
The twin-engine 777-300ER, one of 10 777s Jet Airways has
ordered, is configured in three classes, including eight First
Class suites, 30 Premiere seats and 274 Economy seats.
Jet Airways operates the 777-300ER on a Mumbai-London route.
On Aug. 5, the 14-year-old airline will become the first
private airline flying from India to the United States,
operating the Boeing 777-300ER via Brussels -- its newly
created European hub. The inaugural service will be
Mumbai-Brussels-New York (Newark). Via Brussels, Jet Airways
will launch future daily international services from Delhi,
Chennai, Bangalore and Ahmedabad in India, to New York,
Chicago, Toronto and Los Angeles. Daily Services to San
Francisco via Shanghai are also planned.
