Jet Airways relocates Mumbai flight operations to T2

Jet Airways, described as India’s premier international airline, will relocate its domestic operations to the state-of-the-art Terminal 2 (T2) at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (CSIA) in Sahar on March 15.
Spread across 4.4 million square feet, the integrated T2 has 60 departure check-in counters and 80 arrival immigration counters capable of handling 40 million passengers annually.
T2 is also well connected to the island city by public transport, which includes the Mumbai suburban railway, Mumbai Metro rail, public transport buses, taxis and auto rickshaws.
Jet Airways’ migration of domestic operations to T2 will lead to the integration of domestic and international flight operations in one terminal, resulting in a “significantly enhanced, seamless and hassle-free transfer experience” for guests.
Flight 9W 484 from Mumbai to Kolkata departing at 2:25 a.m. will be the first Jet Airways domestic flight to operate from T2 on March 15. The first arriving flight will be 9W 628 at 12:10 a.m. from Kolkata.
The relocation of domestic operations to T2 is part of Jet Airways’ “strategic commitment” to develop Indian airports as hubs, providing guests greater connectivity on its domestic and international networks. Jet Airways operates over 135 daily flights out of Mumbai to destinations in India and around the world.
The move to T2 is aimed at significantly improving operational efficiencies, by allowing Jet Airways to transition a greater number of domestic flyers onto its international network and vice-versa.
Guests will now be able to transfer from domestic to international flights within 75 minutes compared to an hour and 45 minutes currently, while international to domestic transfers will take just 90 minutes compared to two hours currently.
Gaurang Shetty, SVP-commercial, Jet Airways, said: “The integration of domestic and international operations at Mumbai’s T2 will enable Jet Airways to transform Mumbai into a critical international transit hub.”

On this occasion, a wide range of special offers was introduced on local products, available across all LuLu Hypermarket branches throughout the Kingdom.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by Mohammed bin Dayel, general supervisor of the Made in Saudi program at the Saudi Export Development Authority, and Mohamed Haris, director of LuLu Saudi Arabia, alongside members of LuLu’s executive management team. The event featured a ribbon-cutting ceremony to officially open the specially designed Founding Day gateway.
Following the inauguration, guests toured several dedicated zones and exhibitions highlighting national products. The tour commenced at the grocery and “Made in Saudi” consumer goods sections, showcasing the diversity and quality of local brands. It also included the “Made in Saudi” dates pavilion, presenting a premium selection of the finest locally sourced dates in celebration of one of the Kingdom’s most iconic national symbols.
The visit continued to the fruits and vegetables section under the theme “From Our Land,” featuring an exceptional assortment of Saudi agricultural products, reflecting the richness and excellence of the local agricultural sector. Guests also explored the LuLu private label corner, which features products exclusively manufactured within the Kingdom for LuLu, reaffirming the company’s commitment to supporting local manufacturing.
The tour concluded with a presentation of “Made in Saudi” products within the chilled and frozen categories, underscoring the rapid growth and qualitative advancement of the Kingdom’s food manufacturing sector, and further reinforcing the strong market position and competitiveness of Saudi products.
