Jet Airways was grounded for the time being after flying for almost 26 years when its last flight, a Boeing 737, touched down at the Mumbai airport early on Thursday after departing from Amritsar.
The country’s oldest private airline took off nearly 26 years ago from the airport here to Ahmedabad as an air taxi operator.
The aircraft VT-SJI (flight no. S2 3502), belonging to the erstwhile Sahara Airlines, departed from Amritsar at 10.24 pm on Wednesday and touched down at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport here at 12.22 am on Thursday, ending the “Joy of Flying” for its millions of customers.
