Jet Airways currently operational with only 15 aircraft, says aviation secretary P S Kharola

New Delhi: Less than 15 aircraft of Jet Airways are currently operational, Civil Aviation Secretary P S Kharola said on Wednesday. The SBI-led consortium of lenders had taken over the management of the cash-hit Jet Airways last month. Asked about the active fleet of the beleaguered airline, the Civil Aviation Secretary said here that “yesterday, it was 28”.  [caption id=“attachment_6330291” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]Representational image.

In the last few weeks, the airline has been grounding its aircraft in tranches due to non-payment of dues to lessors.  Regarding funding issues of the airline, Kharola - who was speaking on the sidelines of an event - said, “The issue is between bankers and Jet management. So they are discussing with each other.” The private carrier on Tuesday said it has grounded 15 more aircraft due to non-payment of rentals to lessors. Till last month, the Mumbai-headquartered airline, which is now under the new ownership, had taken 54 planes out of operations due to lease rental defaults. On 25 March, Jet Airways’ board approved a resolution plan formulated by SBI-led domestic lenders. Under the plan, lenders decided to take control of the airline and make a fund infusion of Rs 1,500 crore.
