MUMBAI, December 22, 2014:

Jet Airways, India's premier international airline, has introduced a new online meal booking program for First Class and Premiere guests.

The "Book your meal" initiative is now available on all Jet Airways' international flights, allowing guests to pre-order meals online at jetairways.com. It is a key feature in the airline's growing commitment to enhance the in-flight guest experience.

Guests can now select from a wide array of non-vegetarian and vegetarian meal options, ensuring they have their preferred meals served during their flight.

In addition, Jet Airways is boosting the in-flight entertainment experience for guests in all cabins and on all flights through the launch of a series of theatre shows by "CinePlay".

Founded by Subodh Maskara, and creatively mentored by Nandita Das, CinePlay shows are cinematic renditions of vast and content-rich stories from Indian theatre.

Produced in Hindi with English subtitles, the productions will be screened over several Jet Airways in-flight entertainment cycles during the coming months.

Mohan Rakesh's Adhe Adhure and Nandita Das and Divya Jagdale's Between the Lines will be available to Jet Airways guests exclusively on the in-flight entertainment system.

Gaurang Shetty, Jet Airways' Senior Vice President Commercial, said: Jet Airways has always tried to look at ways that we can enhance our guests' travel experience and we believe offering the opportunity to make dining choices before the flight will be very popular.

Mr Shetty added: "As India's premiere international airline, Jet Airways has always been a proud ambassador for Indian culture and the screening of CinePlay shows in-flight is another opportunity for the airline to show the world how rich this culture is as well as giving our Indian guests access to popular in-flight entertainment."

Notes: The "Book Your Meal" initiative allows guests to book meals 48 hours to 60 days in advance of departure.
