Air India is looking at leasing five Boeing 777s of Jet Airways, which temporarily suspended its operations on Wednesday night.
While officially the airline declined to comment on the subject, sources indicated that the state-owned carrier had been in talks with Jet Airways for about 10 days for taking these five aircraft.
Ashwini Lohani, Chairman and Managing Director, Air India, is said to have written to SBI Chairman Rajnish Kumar exploring the possibility of leasing these five aircraft. The official spokesperson, however, declined to confirm this development.
