Press Release Summary: September 05, 2008: Jet Airways’ emergence as one of the
world’s premium airlines has been recognised by the Best in Travel Poll 2008,
organised by SmartTravelAsia.com.

Press Release Body: Voted one of the Top 10 Airlines in the world, Jet Airways was
seventh in a poll of the world’s best airlines, while being placed fifth in the
Business Class Category for its acclaimed, herringbone-configured Première product;
and sixth in the Cabin services category.

Mr. Wolfgang Prock-Schauer, Chief Executive Officer, Jet Airways said “the poll is
indeed a worthy recognition of Jet Airways’ high-quality products and services.
Remarkably, this was all achieved in a short span of three years since we launched
international services across the globe. It is a testimony to all who have helped
the airline’s fast climb in the world rankings and punch above our weight. This
will encourage everyone in Jet Airways to further build upon our success and offer
all our passengers more memorable flying experiences.”

The Best in Travel Poll 2008 recognises the best in the industry and acknowledges
their excellent services and products to the tourism and airline industry. The
results of the poll were voted by the international readers of SmartTravelAsia.com,
a regional online travel magazine, through May to July 2008. The voters, with about
60 per cent in Asia, 20 per cent in Europe and UK and 20 per cent in USA and North
America, took 15.5 annual air trips on average.

These honors are the latest in a series of accolades for Jet Airways. In June 2008,
Jet Airways received awards for being one of the ‘Top 5 Airlines by Growth in
Passenger Carriage’ and one of ‘Top 5 Airlines by Growth in Cargo Carriage’ at the
annual Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) awards.

In the same month, the airline was recognized for the excellence of its service and
in-flight experience in the ‘Airline of the Year Category’ at the second Annual
“Which?” Awards presentation ceremony in London, placing a mere percentage point
behind the eventual winner.

In April 2008, the airline’s frequent flyer programme, JetPrivilege, won 9 Awards,
including the intensely competitive ‘Program of the Year’ award for the second
consecutive year, at the 20th Annual presentation ceremony of the prestigious
Freddie Awards 2007 in Phoenix, USA. This was the fourth year in a row that
JetPrivilege was honoured at the awards.

Jet Airways was also declared’ the ‘Best Cargo Airline of Central Asia’. at the
prestigious Cargo Airline of the Year Awards earlier in the month, held in London.

Founded in 1993, Jet Airways commenced its first international operations in 2004,
and is today one of the fastest growing airlines in the world with flights to 64
destinations that span the length and breadth of India and beyond to North America,
Europe (via the Brussels hub), Asia and the Gulf region.
