Jet Airways Friday extended its Bangalore-Brussels service to New York (Newark and JFK airports) and Toronto in Canada with four weekly flights, the airline said Friday.

According to the airline, its extended services would be discontinued for a month from Dec 15 to Jan 15 and would fly only up to Brussels and will revert to flying to the US and Canada thereafter.

This, the airline said, is being done to meet increased Europe-bound traffic during the holiday season.

The airline recently announced scrapping its service on the Mumbai-Shanghai-San Francisco sector from Jan 13, seven months after it was launched. Instead, it will service the San Francisco-bound traffic through its London gateway in association with partner airlines.

Jet runs flights to 64 destinations in India and overseas, including New York, Toronto, Brussels, London, Hong Kong, Singapore, Shanghai, Kuala Lumpur, Colombo, Bangkok and Kathmandu.
