Travelers will now be able to book hotels in India through the Web site of a private carrier, Jet Airways, following its agreement with a key U.S.-based travel agency, the airline said in a statement Monday.
Jet Airways will use Travelocity's proprietary data base of hotels to complement its air booking engine on Jetairways.com, which attracts more than 1.25 million visitors every month, the statement said.
Travelocity, based in Southlake, Texas, is the sixth largest travel agency in the United States.
Travelocity has been adding Indian hotels to its 'Net Rate' hotel program, comprising more than 30,000 hotels, since May 2006.
Jet Airways, with a fleet of 62 aircraft, operates more than 340 daily flights to 50 destinations in India and abroad, including London, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Colombo, Bangkok and Katmandu.
It plans to extend its international operations to North America, Europe, Africa and Asia in coming years.
