Domestic airlines have got 115-120 slots previously with Jet Airways at 15-18 airports operated by the Airports Authority of India.. The airline temporarily suspended its operations on April 17 due to funds crunch.
A slot is a landing-and-take-off sequence that allows an airline and the airport to plan their operations. Most of the slots, which have been given to other airlines, are daily slots although there are some on which Jet Airways operated flights four or five times a week.
This is the first time that the number of slots vacated by Jet Airways has been made public since it suspended operations.
