Jet Airways Cancels all International Flights

With inputs from Agencies

Thursday, April 11, 2019

Jet Airways has cancelled all international flights for today and tomorrow due to scarcity of funds by the airline, Indian media reported.

Meanwhile, the government is monitoring the operational situation at Jet Airways closely to ensure the airline complies with overseas flying rules, news agency IANS reported citing official sources. The airline is currently operating only about 14 aircraft down from 26 last week and this might lead to the suspension of its international operations, the IANS report said.

Civil Aviation Secretary Pradeep Singh Kharola told news agency ANI, "It (Jet Airways) is currently operating less than 15 planes and its eligibility to fly on international routes needs to be examined."

As per rules, an airline needs to have minimum of 20 aircraft to be eligible to operate international flights.
