Besides, Mumbai and Delhi, the airline is also exploring a few other destinations to launch these services, the official said.

There is a huge potential on the sector, which needs to be tapped, the official said, adding," the airline expects a good passenger demand once these services are commenced."

Jet Airways is also expected to fly to South Africa shortly, the official said.
