Jet Airways has entered into an intermodal codeshare arrangement with
Thalys high-speed rail service between Brussels and Paris. Under the
codeshare, Jet Airways will place its marketing code on the Thalys
operated direct train service between the train station at Brussels
Airport and Paris Nord. The service, now available for sale, will be
operational from October 30, 2011. The arrangement offers a combined
Thalys-train ticket between Paris and India or US and Canada via
Brussels with Jet Airways.
Nikos Kardassis, CEO, Jet Airways,
said, “Jet Airways’ guests will now be able to access Brussels Airport
from the French capital in a mere hour and forty-seven minutes thanks to
the new Thalys high-speed train. We are certain that our guests from
France as well as from both the Asian and North American continents will
greatly benefit from this new travel solution. We look forward to
extending partnership with Thalys to more European cities in the near
future.”
Franck Gervais, CEO, Thalys International, stated,
“Travelling to and from Brussels Airport, the international airport at
the heart of our network is part of our optimization strategy to go
beyond the expectations of our international clientele.”
