Aviation minister Suresh Prabhu on Tuesday directed his ministry’s secretary to hold an emergency meeting on the debt-ridden Jet Airways massively cancelling flights after grounding of a large part of its fleet. The meeting will be held later this evening.
The minister’s direction came in the wake of the airliner drastically reducing its operations due to liquidity crunch.
“Directed Secretary, @MOCA GOI to hold an emergency meeting on grounding of flights by Jet Airways, advance bookings, cancellations, refunds and safety issues, if any,” Prabhu said in a tweet.
“Asked him (civil aviation secretary) to get a report on Jet compliance issues immediately from DGCA,” he added.
