The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) will draw up the summer schedule of flights without considering Jet Airways.
The beleaguered airline has grounded almost three-fourth of its fleet amid a financial crisis that has impacted its payments to lessors.
The DGCA expects to get greater clarity in the next few days on the number of slots at various airports that Jet Airways will not be able to utilise. The slots surrendered by Jet will be on a temporary basis; if it reaches a better financial position, it will be given the slots back.
Asked if Jet Airways was being grounded, officials said: “We are telling you what the picture is.”
