Mangaluru, Oct 13: Further expanding its already-extensive network, Jet Airways will operate more flights between south Indian cities like Mangaluru and Middle Eastern destinations in coming days.

jetThe Indo-Gulf route is already among Jet Airways' busiest and the airline has ramped up the number of flights on the sector to meet this growing demand. A high level officer of the private carrier told Coastaldigest.com that it will operate more flights in future from south Indian cities like Managluru, Bengaluru, Kozhikode and Kochi.

He said that on October 30, 2016 Jet Airways will launch a daily service from Kozhikode to Sharjah. The outbound flight, 9W 208, will depart Kozhikode at 2125 hrs (IST) and arrive in Sharjah at 2355 hrs (local time). The inbound flight 9W 207 will depart Sharjah at 1620 hrs (local time) and arrive in Kozhikode at 2145 hrs (IST).

The new service will make Kozhikode the third Indian city to be connected by Jet Airways to Sharjah, adding to the daily flights that the airline already operates to the Emirate from Kochi and Mangaluru.

According to Gaurang Shetty, whole-time director, Jet Airways, "the Gulf region is becoming an increasingly popular destination among the Indian population, whether it's for business travel, tourism or employment. To cater to this growing demand, Jet Airways has progressively taken steps to enhance capacity on the route either by deploying more aircraft or introducing wide-body options on the sector.

He said that Jet Airways has established itself as the preferred airline on Indo-Gulf routes and expanding our already extensive network, allied to our reputation for service excellence, will ensure we remain the airline of choice for guests flying between India and the Gulf.

Bengaluru, Mar 21: The news and public relations department, the Indian Red Cross Society and the Karnataka State Labour Studies Institute have invited volunteers for the programme to provide real-time information to people to avoid spreading rumours and misinformation about coronavirus.

This is an opportunity to join hands with the Karnataka government and fight coronavirus. These volunteers will be known as the "Corona Warriors", who will be entrusted with the job of monitoring social media sites to check rumours that are being spread across all taluks in the state. They will also take steps to provide proper information.

Applications are already being shared online and registered volunteers will be provided with appropriate training, security kits and identification cards at all district offices of the Department of Information and Public Relations.
