This decision of the Jet Airways has not gone down well for the travelers of the region as it will have an adverse effect in the connectivity of the north-eastern region.
The airline by cutting down flights on the north-eastern region would add to the capacity on those regions that offer high yields.
The move is bound to pinch the travelers of the region as the other airlines operating in the region would automatically hike the prices of their tickets.
