The airline will also connect Chennai with Coimbatore, Madurai and Kochi and Bangalore with Pune and Mangalore.

“We are beginning operations of Jet Airways Konnect, our new all-economy, no-frills service, from tomorrow. The airfare will be 10-15% lower on the new service compared to fares charged for our economy class," Jet Airways, chief commercial officer, Sudhir Raghavan told reporters here.

Without giving details, he said that fares will be cheaper on some routes by 20%.

The Naresh Goyal-led airline will deploy two Boeing 737-800s and six smaller aircraft or ATRs.
