New Delhi: The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) recently gave security clearance to the new promoters of Jet Airways to resume commercial operations in the country. The Jalan-Kalrock consortium is currently the promoter of Jet Airways.
‘MHA gave security clearance to new promoters of Jet Airways last week. Jet Airways 2.0 plans to resume commercial flight operations next month’, MHA official told ANI. ‘This is to clarify and reiterate that Jet Airways operated a test flight in Hyderabad earlier today, and a positioning ferry flight to Delhi thereafter. These were not Jet Airways’ proving flights. We expect to schedule the proving flights in the coming days, which would be jointly determined with the DGCA,’ spokesperson, Jalan-Kalrock Consortium told ANI.
After the successful test flight, the CEO of Jet Airways 2.0 said that it was a very emotional moment for the entire Jet Airways family. ‘A very emotional moment for all the wonderful folks who have been working hard to get Jet back in the skies. This was a test flight, not a proving flight. The aircraft will position to Delhi this evening. Proving flight to be scheduled in the coming days from Delhi’, Sanjiv Kapoor said.
The airline was owned by Naresh Goyal and operated its last flight on April 17, 2019. The airline conducted a Hyderabad-Delhi positioning ferry flight on May 5, its first flight since April 17, 2019, when it ceased operations after it went bankrupt. Jet Airways founder Naresh Goyal ran the airline for more than 20 years before it went bankrupt and was shut down completely on 17 April 2019. In 2018 Jet Airways saw its worst financial times ever and the airline reported a negative financial outlook due to mounting losses. However, the company is yet to clarify whether the airline is going to change the logo and colors of the entire fleet.
