Jet Airways Konnect or Jet Konnect as it is now known as is a unique subsidiary of Jet Airways which is neither a full blown Full Service Carrier nor a Low Cost Carrier. The cost of the tickets on a Jet Airways Konnect flight is around 10-15% cheaper than the ticket for the same journey on a Jet Airways flight which gives one an idea that though the ticket is cheaper than what a Full Service Carrier would charge, it is not as cheap as that of a Low Cost Carrier.

Jet Airways Konnect came into being in May 2009 when Jet Airways launched the subsidiary in the hope of gaining a larger share of the growing Indian market by offering an airline that charged relatively low fares. The no frills airline began its career in the skies with eight aircraft in its fleet. Since Jet Airways already owned the low cost brand of JetLite many wondered why it was giving birth to another but the technicality behind the matter was that it was easier for Jet Airways to launch a new brand in the form of Jet Airways Konnect rather than go through the process of expanding JetLite as there were some formalities like transferring assets and aircraft that wouldn’t have been very smooth.


The airline soon saw the brand of JetLite merge with it in the year 2012 which gave the airline even more firepower. Jet Airways Konnect is a major player in the skies today and offers just the right support to the mother airline Jet Airways.
