"India has strong economic and cultural ties with the region and it is our endeavour to enhance connectivity between India and the Arabian Gulf for the benefit of its people," Sivakumar said.

As part of the inaugural offer, the airline has introduced attractive fares on the Thiruvananthapuram-Doha and Kozhikode-Doha routes, Jet Airways added.
