Jet Airways is once again planning to fly commercial flights in the country. According to an official document, the Union Home Ministry has given security clearance to the airline.
Last week, the airline operated a test flight from Hyderabad airport, taking a step towards obtaining the Air Operator Certificate.
Promoter of Jalan-Kalrock Consortium
Jet Airways was earlier owned by Naresh Goyal and operated its last flight on April 17, 2019. Presently Jalan-Kalrock Consortium is the promoter of Jet Airways.
Home Ministry approved
The Ministry of Civil Aviation has sent a letter to the airline on May 6, informing about giving security clearance by the Union Home Ministry. However, in future the security clearance can be withdrawn at any time in the light of any adverse input received from the Ministry of Home Affairs.
This letter has also been sent to Aviation Safety Regulator DGCA and Aviation Security Regulator BCAS.
Last week, the airline conducted a test flight to the DGCA to prove that the aircraft and all its parts were functioning normally.
Have to do this work now
After the test flight, the airline has to operate proven flights, after which the DGCA will provide the Air Operator Certificate. Siddha flights are similar to commercial flight with passengers and cabin crew members accompanied by DGCA officials and airline executives.
Operations ceased in June 2019
After providing flight service for more than two decades, Jet Airways had to shut down its operations on April 17, 2019, in view of the financial crisis. A consortium led by State Bank of India (SBI) filed an insolvency petition against the airline in June 2019 for dues of over Rs 8,000 crore.
The airline's committee of creditors (CoC) in October 2020 approved the resolution plan submitted by a consortium of UK-based ColRock Capital and UAE-based entrepreneur Murari Lal Jalan. This resolution plan was also approved by the National Company Law Tribunal in June 2021.
