Press Release Summary: July 04, 2008: Jet Airways, India's premier airline, has
emerged triumphant as India's 'Airline with the Best Business Class' and 'Airline
with the Best Economy Class' categories for its outstanding domestic Premire and
Economy Class products, at the prestigious CNBC-Awaaz Travel Awards 2008.

Press Release Body: The awards were given away at a glittering event in Mumbai on
July 3, 2008, by the Union Minister of Travel and Culture, Mrs.Ambika Soni. Jet
Airways was represented at the event by its Chairman, Mr. Naresh Goyal, who accepted
the awards on behalf of the Jet Airways family.

Commenting on the honour, Mr. Goyal said, "From its very inception, Jet Airways has
been committed to setting new standards of service excellence in the Indian skies.
Despite our aggressive international expansion, we have continued to focus on the
domestic market, with these awards standing testimony to the excellence of our
in-flight product and service. I would like to take this opportunity to dedicate
this award to the Jet Airways family, without whose unceasing effort and dedication
this would not have been possible".

In a move to introduce more legroom and boost passenger comfort, Jet Airways is in
the process of progressively removing an entire row of seats in both Premire and
Economy classes across all Boeing 737-800 aircraft flying on its domestic routes.

These awards are the latest in a long line of awards that the airline has received
in recent times.

In June 2008, Jet Airways was honoured at the annual Civil Aviation Authority of
Singapore's (CAAS) third annual Changi Airline Awards in the 'Top 5 Airlines by
Growth in Passenger Carriage' and 'Top 5 Airlines by Growth in Cargo Carriage'
through Changi Airport categories.

Later in the same month, Jet Airways was also recognized for the excellence of its
service and in-flight experience, beating several larger and longer-established
airlines in the 'Airline of the Year' category at the second annual 'Which?'
Awards,where it was the runner-up, a mere percentage point behind winner Singapore
Airlines.

The CNBC-Awaaz Travel Awards honour the best in class travel destinations,
organizations and service providers in the tourism industry, based on an objective
study conducted by India's leading research firm, The Nielsen Company.

The awards are based on an exhaustive customer response study, conducted across 12
cities with consumers voting for their choice of travel services and destinations.
