Consortium chief hopes to restart Jet Airways in 6 months

UAE-based entrepreneur Murari Lal Jalan of the Jalan-Kalrock consortium believes that the defunct Jet Airways can restart operations as early as six months.

“I am expecting to fly Jet Airways in the next six months, which is dependent on NCLT (National Company Law Tribunal – India’s bankruptcy court) clearance,” Jalan told NDTV in an interview.

Stressing that after receiving approval from the NCLT for its resolution plan, there will not be any hurdle, he added, “We are hoping to be done very, very soon. It is very important to have routes that Jet used to have. And, as a full-fledged airline, we have a lot of corporates. Our main aim was to be a corporate before and even now our main aim is to run the airlines for corporates.”
