18 Jun 2007

Paris: Jet Airways' recent acquisition, a second Boeing 777-300ER, arrived Saturday in Le Bourget, where it will be on display during the Paris Air Show next week. The aircraft is the second of 10 777-300ERs that India's largest private airline has ordered from Boeing.

The plane is configured in three classes, including eight first class suites, 30 premiere seats and 274 economy class seats.

Each of the newly created first class suites offers nearly 26 square feet of usable space, which can be enclosed with sliding doors. The suites also feature a 23-inch flat-screen monitor, storage areas that include a personal hanging wardrobe, dual credenzas and under-ottoman storage, and an 83-inch bed.

A business-jet style table allows two people to dine comfortably in the suite.

Jet Airways operates the 777-300ER on a Mumbai-London route.

On Aug. 5, the airline will become the first private airline flying from India to the United States, to operate the Boeing 777-300ER via Brussels, its newly created European hub. The inaugural service will be Mumbai-Brussels-New York (Newark).
