Jet Airways Resolution Plan: Airline to Restart Operations by Summer

In news from the aviation sector, as per a leading financial daily, Jet Airways, the full-service airline which went bankrupt last year, could be back in the skies as early as the summer.

Its new promoters, Murari Lal Jalan and Kalrock Capital, plan to start domestic and international flights with all the slots that were available to the airline before it stopped operations.

The promoters contemplated starting a new airline but chose to stick with the Jet brand due to its continuing value, connect with customers and important flight slots at various airports.
