Jet Airways to close first class in Boeing 777; increase seats

New Delhi, Nov 24: Jet Airways is planning to close its first class seats in its Boeing 777 planes that operated on flights with long distance as it will work on cost-cutting.

The plan was discussed with investors by the carrier as this plan will focus on cost minimization.

According to the official, Jet Airways is looking at doing away with first class seats in B777 planes to increase the number of seats in them as part of larger cost reduction efforts.

"The airline plans to increase seats in its B777s from 346 to nearly 400, as part of its continued endeavour to reduce costs and realise higher revenue in the foreseeable future," the statement by carrier read.
