PLEASE NOTE: Jet Airways has now shut down and no longer operates Jet Airways flights. The information that follows is about the period Jet Airways was still operational.

Based at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport in Mumbai, Jet Airways is India's second biggest carrier. In addition to Mumbai, it also has operating hubs in Kolkata, Amsterdam, Brussels, Chennai, Delhi and Bengaluru. Jet Airways was founded in 1992 and was at one time the largest airline in India, but has since been surpassed by IndiGo. The airline boosted its growth by buying out Air Sahara in 2007.

Jet Airways uses its fleet of more than 110 ATR, Airbus and Boeing planes to serve over 60 destinations in countries across Asia, Europe, North America and the Middle East, with flights to Delhi, Amsterdam and Berlin being the most popular for the airline. Jet Airways sought to join the Star Alliance but was not successful. There are a number of airlines around the world that have codeshare agreements with the company, including Air Berlin, Air Canada, Delta Air Lines and Etihad Airways.

Online check-in

Individuals and groups of up to 9 passengers can check in for their Jet Airways flight online, as long as they have no more than 4 flight segments on their booking. Depending on the passenger's destinations and ticket type, the online check-in opens between 48 and 24 hours ahead of a flight's departure and closes again 1 or 2 hours prior to takeoff. Online check in is not available for all airports served by Jet Airways, so passengers should check this in advance. When they've checked in successfully, passengers will receive an e-boarding card, which will be sent to them via email.
