Jet Airways, India’s premier full-service international airline, will introduce its wide-body Airbus A330 aircraft on the Jeddah–Mumbai route, boosting capacity on the key sector and extending to guests a superior onboard experience.
The state-of-the-art aircraft will be deployed on the Jeddah-Mumbai-Jeddah route Jan. 16 onwards.
Deploying the wide-body Airbus A330 will enable Jet Airways to offer a luxurious and premium flying experience for guests — at par with global standards. Jet Airways has been increasing deployment of wide-body aircraft across its international network, providing comfort for its guests flying the respective sectors and expanding capacities.
“The introduction of wide-body service on our key international route not only allows Jet Airways to scale up capacity but also guarantees a superior flying experience for guests.
“The A330 deployment will provide guests with greater choice of travel both to India — on our extensive domestic network, or onwards, on Jet Airways’ international network, with a seamless, international standard, transit experience at Terminal 2 — our Mumbai hub.
“The incremental capacity means more guests get to enjoy our connections/stopovers in India on their journeys to Bangkok, Hong Kong, Singapore, Colombo, Dhaka, and Katmandu, in addition to our westbound flight options.”
The wide-body aircraft with its characteristic two-cabin configuration of 18 seats in “Premiere” and 236 in “Economy” will also increase capacity on the key routes by as much as 50 percent.
Guests flying “Premiere” will experience Jet Airways’ famed, completely flat “beds in the sky,” while the ergonomically-designed “Economy” seats, providing greater legroom and a more spacious cabin, will guarantee a more enjoyable and relaxed flying experience.
Together with convenient schedules, the airline’s award-winning, exhaustive inflight entertainment, select and carefully-curated menu of fine dining options and its renowned onboard hospitality, traveling with Jet Airways will translate into a highly-personalized and distinct experience, helping guests stay refreshed and rejuvenated upon arrival into Mumbai early morning.
Jet Airways also seeks to upgrade its Kuwait–Mumbai route to an A330 wide-body from Jan. 18.

‘Wealth Grows Here’: Aljazira Bank launches new brand identity
Aljazira Bank announced the launch of its new brand identity under the slogan “Wealth Grows Here,” marking a natural evolution in a growth journey spanning more than five decades. Over the years, successive phases of transformation have shaped the bank into what it is today, with the new identity serving as the culmination of a strategic chapter that strengthened the bank’s role within the Saudi banking sector.
As part of this milestone, the new brand launch also extended to Aljazira Capital, the bank’s investment arm, reflecting a unified vision and strategic alignment across the group. The updated identity of Aljazira Capital underscored its evolution as a specialized investment and wealth management institution, focused on delivering carefully structured investment solutions and strengthening its role as a trusted partner in building and growing long-term investment portfolios, fully aligned with the bank’s broader direction.
The announcement also included the launch of the new identity for Fawri, aligning it with the bank’s updated brand and reflecting its commitment to delivering reliable and seamless financial transfers within an advanced and integrated financial ecosystem.
Naif bin Abdulkareem Al-Abdulkareem, CEO and managing director of Aljazira Bank, said: “The new brand identity goes beyond a visual change; it is a true reflection of what the bank has become today. Since the strategic refresh in 2023, we have restructured how we operate, aligned our business lines around a shared objective, and strengthened execution. The progress we see today, in service quality and speed of delivery — confirms that we are moving in the right direction.”
The new identity reflects the outcomes of the bank’s 2023 strategic transformation, a pivotal milestone in its journey. This phase focused on developing an integrated banking ecosystem with a stronger emphasis on individual wealth management, supported by a more agile and efficient operating model led by digital channels. It balanced sustainable growth with strengthening the corporate portfolio, accelerating investment in digital infrastructure and human capital, and enhancing operational efficiency.
Since its establishment, Aljazira Bank has progressed through successive stages of growth, evolving from a traditional bank into a more innovative and specialized financial institution. Today, it places wealth management at the core of its proposition, offering a banking experience built on long-term relationships and a deep understanding of clients’ financial aspirations. In parallel, the bank has continued to reinforce its role as a trusted partner to the business sector, serving large corporates as well as small and medium-sized enterprises through solutions that support growth, sustainability, and the Kingdom’s broader economic development goals.
At the heart of this direction stands the bank’s new slogan, “Wealth Grows Here,” which captures its role as a key partner in building and preserving wealth for individuals and businesses alike, creating sustainable value beyond the delivery of traditional banking services.
