Jet Airways has announced it will start a non-stop service between Mumbai and Manchester starting in the winter schedule. The service will operate four times a week using a two class 254 seat Airbus A330-200 which includes an 18 seat business class.

On Mondays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, from Terminal 2 at the two airports;
Flight 9W 130 will depart Mumbai at 02:30 and arrive Manchester at 07:55
