Jet on its final descent? Grounds East, NE ops; suspends int'l services for a day
Curtains seem to be finally drawing on crippled Jet Airways as the once-leading carrier Thursday grounded its services to and from the East and Northeast regions as well as suspended its international operations for a day.
The drastic measure was announced after the airline informed the exchanges that it was forced to ground 10 more planes due to non-payment of rentals to the lessors.
"Jet Airways flights to London, Amsterdam and Paris from Mumbai, New Delhi and Bengaluru scheduled for April 12 are cancelled for operational reasons" said an airline source close to the development.
The airline will not operate on the Bengaluru- Amsterdam-Bengaluru route on April 13 as well.
Earlier in the day, the airline announced grounding of 10 more planes due to non-payment of rentals to the lessors.
"All Jet operations to and from the Eastern and Northeastern regions are suspended. Following this, there are no Jet flights to and from Kolkata, Patna, Guwahati and other airports in the region," said
