Jet Airways launches three JetEscapes packages to South Africa for Indian travellers

Extending its holiday package offering to the African continent, Jet Airways has launched three JetEscapes packages to South Africa namely South African Escapes, SunCity Getaway and Kruger Getaway. These packages are targeted to Indian leisure travellers visiting South Africa. The launch of these packages is followed with the launch of direct flights to Johannesburg from Mumbai with effect from April 14, 2010.

Speaking about JetEscapes packages, Sudheer Raghavan, Chief Commercial Officer, Jet Airways said, “South Africa is becoming a popular destination among Indians for its diverse offering for wildlife, luxury and adventure tourists. We have priced our packages competitively and expect our packages to become popular among travellers. Also our connectivity to Johannesburg will help to cater to their travel requirements.”

Besides catering to the leisure traveller, the airline is expecting its new connection to cater to Visiting Friends and Relatives (VFR) and business travellers from India.
