Jet to close check-in 45 minutes before departure nationwide
Mumbai: To enhance on-time performance in its domestic network, the Jet Airways Group today said it will extend the practice of closing domestic check-in counters 45 minutes before departure to all non-metro airports with immediate effect.
Implementation of uniform counter closure timings, currently observed by Jet Airways and Jet Konnect in the metro airports, is aimed at enhancing on-time performance in the domestic network, the airline said in a statement. Guests using web or kiosk check-in will have to complete all baggage-related formalities, if any, before the counters close, it added. Earlier, the check-in time was one hour.
Maintaining a uniform counter closure across the network will enhance the airline's on-time performance and consistency on all its domestic flights, senior vice-president-commercial Gaurang Shetty said. The full-service Jet Airways operates over 260 flights a day, while its low-cost arm JetKonnect operates 300 daily flights connecting 52 destinations in the country.
