Private carrier Jet Airways today forayed into visa services and forged a partnership with the Dubai-based Dnata to offer these services to the UAE-bound travellers from the country.

“The new partnership will offer guests travelling from here to Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah the option to individually secure their visa prior to departure,” Jet said in a release.

Dnata’s is one of the largest suppliers of combined air services, offering ground handling, cargo, travel and flight catering services to a host of countries.

Travel specialists will assist guests through the visa process, collect all the necessary documents and submit the visa applications to the UAE government on behalf of the traveller.

The agreement also involves offering Marhaba (welcome) bookings services, by offering a wide variety of meet and greet services at the Dubai airport including assistance at the baggage belt area and airport formalities for fast track immigration clearance and access to Marhaba lounges.
