Jet Airways enters into codeshare arrangement with Thalys

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.”
