About Mumbai

Mumbai is the capital of the Indian state of Maharashtra and is the most densely populated city in India. Mumbai is situated on the west coast of India and has a deep natural harbour. The city is the financial, commercial and entertainment capital of India. It is also one of the world's top ten centres of commerce in terms of global financial flow. Mumbai's business opportunities, as well as its potential to offer a higher standard of living, attract migrants from all over India, making the city a melting pot of many communities and cultures.

Mumbai airport is the hub of KLM’s codeshare partner Jet Airways. This makes it easier for customers on KLM’s Mumbai service to book a wide range of connecting flights to all major cities and business centres in India, such as Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Chennai and Pune.

Direct connections between the Netherlands and India

Until Jet Airways moved its flights from Brussels to Amsterdam, from where it now operates daily services to Delhi and Mumbai, only KLM operated daily services between Amsterdam and Delhi.

Jet Airways has also recently announced that it will be commencing daily flights from Bangalore to Amsterdam.
