The airline on Friday  reported a net loss of Rs 1,729 crore in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year 2015, down from last year’s Rs 2,154 crore. The airline has not posted a profit since 2007 as tough competition and high operating costs in India’s aviation industry make it difficult to turn a profit. Jet Airways currently operates a fleet of 116 aircraft, which include a mix of state-of-the-art Boeing 777-300 ERs/Airbus A330-200/300 aircraft, Next Generation Boeing 737s and ATR 72-500/600s, and has one of the youngest fleet in the region with an average of 6.01 years.
