RAPAPORT... The Antwerp World Diamond Centre (AWDC) and Jet Airways signed a memorandum of understanding to provide the Antwerp diamond industry with discounts from 10 percent to 50 percent for flights to India (Mumbai and New Delhi) and other destinations, such as New York, Toronto, Singapore, Hong Kong and Bangkok. Jet Airways is the only airliner that offers daily and direct flights to Mumbai, the AWDC stated.
Antwerp's diamond firms can realize discounts through authorized agencies, such as HRG, Blitz Travel, Translloyd, Weinberg and Omnia Travel Antwerp.
Stefan Hollands, the general manager for Benelux at Jet Airways, said, "In 2006, the so-called 'diamond contract' was the first corporate deal signed at Jet Airways. It marked the start of a very successful and intensive cooperation. We look forward to further expanding our services by providing the Antwerp diamond industry with direct flights to key destinations, such as Mumbai, Delhi, New York (Newark) and Toronto.''
Ari Epstein, the CEO of AWDC, said, "We are very happy to continue the successful partnership with Jet Airways through this renewed corporate deal. Jet Airways' services actively support our trade relationships with India and deliver a significant added value to the day-to-day business of the Antwerp diamond companies."
