Ho Hoong Mau, VP airline distribution, Abacus said, “Jet Airways has a wealth of direct and interline options to market at a time of increasing demand. We are delighted to deepen our collaboration, especially with new fare combinations that will realise more of the revenue opportunity available in the channel. Abacus travel agents will welcome the added content from such a popular and trusted brand.”

Our partnership is not just about improving performance. We can now package and present even more varied products for our growing community of domestic and international travellers.”
