Press Release Summary: December 07, 2007: Jet Airways, India's premier airline,
announces the introduction of a new Kolkata-Ahmedabad service with the operation of

effective December 17, 2007.

Press Release Body: These flights will operate with a Boeing 737-800 aircraft with
24 seats in Premiere Class and 120 seats in Economy Class.

Jet Airways' flights 9W 631 (Kolkata -Ahmedabad) will depart on Mondays, Wednesdays
and Thursdays from Kolkata at 1820 hrs and arrive at Ahmedabad at 2050 hrs. On the
return leg, flight 9W 632 (Ahmedabad-Kolkata) will depart Ahmedabad at 2125 hrs and
arrive at Kolkata at 2355 hrs.

Jet Airways also announces the enhancement of its frequency on Kolkata - Guwahati

Commenting on the introduction of these new services, Mr. Wolfgang Prock-Schauer
said, "As Jet Airways' hub in Eastern India, Kolkata is very important. To cater to
mainly business and religious traffic between Kolkata and Ahmedabad, Jet Airways has
introduced a new flight on this sector. On the Kolkata-Guwahati sector, Jet Airways
already handles primarily business, as also medical and student traffic with its two
morning flights. The airline has thus introduced a new evening flight on the
Kolkata-Guwahati sector with a Boeing 737-800 aircraft, especially scheduled to
allow Jet Airways' passengers travelling on this sector a convenient same-day return
option."
