Under code-share, 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 combined Thalys-train ticket between Paris and India or US and Canada via Brussels can be booked with Jet Airways through travel agencies or via jetairways.com.
This code-share service is now available for sale, for travel starting from October 30, 2011.
“Jet Airways has constantly innovated to set new benchmarks and our affiliation with Thalys high speed train is another distinctive travel solution. 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. As the largest long haul carrier in Brussels since 2007, offering daily six direct flights to India and North America, 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,” Nikos Kardassis, CEO of Jet Airways said.
Franck Gervais, CEO of Thalys International, confirms, “Travelling to and from Brussels Airport, the international airport at the heart of our network is part of our optimisation strategy to go beyond the expectations of our international clientele. Moreover, through this partnership, Thalys is establishing itself as a key player and pioneer in the development of rail-air transport.”
Michel Jadot, General Manager of SNCB Europe and President of Thalys International, also asserts, “By developing a unique technical solution which allows trains with mandatory reservations to be sold directly in GDS, SNCB can now claim to be a major player in air-rail distribution.”
For Brussels Airport, situated 17 kms of the Brussels-South station, this direct connection with Paris, by a high-speed international train like Thalys, marks an important step in the ease of access strategy.
