Mumbai: Etihad Airways, which has a 24 per cent stake in Jet Airways, on Wednesday said the alliance carried 63 per cent more passengers from the country in 2015 at 3.3 million.
"We (Etihad and Jet Airways) have carried 3.3 million passengers between India and Abu Dhabi in 2015. "This is a growth of 63 per cent over 2014," Etihad Airways chief commercial officer Peter Baumgartner told reporters.
"This makes the Etihad-Jet combine the largest international carrier from this country, flying in and out 1 in every 5 passengers, operating 254 flights a week from 15 gateways cities in the country and enjoying as much as 21 per cent market share," Mr Baumgartner said.
While Etihad directly connects 11 cities in the country with Abu Dhabi, Jet connects four more cities with the Gulf city.
The UAE national carrier has from Sunday added Mumbai as the fourth destination for the super jumbo Airbus A380 that boasts of the world's first family suite in the skies called The Residence, offering a three-room suite (a living room, bedroom and a shower), 9 first-class apartments, 70 business studios and 417 economy class seats.
The world's seventh largest airline group started deploying A380s on its network from December 2014. It has since then been connecting Abu Dhabi with New York (daily), London (twice a day) and Sydney (daily) and from May 1, Mumbai (daily).
