Press Release Summary: September 08, 2008: Jet Airways, India’s premier
international airline, will re-introduce their daily operations on the
Pune-Bengaluru-Pune sectors, becoming the ONLY airline to offer its passengers a
same day return service between the two cities, effective September 11, 2008

Press Release Body: Jet Airways will commence daily operations on the sector with an
advanced, Next-Generation Boeing 737 aircraft, complementing the airline’s existing
(six days a week) service on the sector.

Flight 9W 460* (Pune-Bengaluru) will depart Pune at 0620 hrs, arriving in Bengaluru
at 0740 hrs. On the return leg, flight 9W 459 (Bengaluru-Pune) will depart Bengaluru
at 2100 hrs, arriving in Pune at 2220 hrs.

early morning departure from Pune and arrival in Bengaluru. The airline will also
operate the last direct service out of Bengaluru to Pune, offering business
travellers a full day to complete their work and return home, without the bother of
an overnight stay.

Announcing the launch, Mr. Wolfgang Prock-Schauer, CEO, Jet Airways said, “The
Pune-Bengaluru sector enjoys a lot of business traffic, and the demand for a premium
daily service between the two established IT hubs, specifically tailored to suit the
corporate travellers’ schedule was high. As the only airline offering a
same-business day return service between the two cities, we expect the new flights
to prove very popular with passengers.”
