Given that Jet Airways is not showing any signs of a quick revival, and the global grounding of the Boeing MAX aircraft is still continuing, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Tuesday directed the other (non-Jet) domestic airlines to review how many slots they have been allocated in New Delhi and Mumbai, and how they plan to make use of the additional slots.
The Delhi and Mumbai routes are the busiest in the country, with the two metros having over 100 daily flights between them.
Jet Airways and SpiceJet operated the MAX aircraft before the global ban on the aircraft was imposed on March 13.
While Jet has five MAX aircraft, SpiceJet has 13, of which 12 were operational when the ban was imposed.
