Based at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport in Mumbai, Jet Airways is India's second biggest carrier. In addition to Mumbai, it also has operating hubs in Kolkata, Amsterdam, Brussels, Chennai, Delhi and Bengaluru. Jet Airways was founded in 1992 and was at one time the largest airline in India, but has since been surpassed by IndiGo. The airline boosted its growth by buying out Air Sahara in 2007.

Jet Airways uses its fleet of more than 110 ATR, Airbus and Boeing planes to serve over 60 destinations in countries across Asia, Europe, North America and the Middle East, with flights to Delhi, Amsterdam and Berlin being the most popular for the airline. Jet Airways sought to join the Star Alliance but was not successful. There are a number of airlines around the world that have codeshare agreements with the company, including Air Berlin, Air Canada, Delta Air Lines and Etihad Airways.
