‘Emotional day for us’: Jet Airways on Hyderabad ‘test flight’ | Video
After a three-year hiatus, Jet Airways on Thursday took the skies again for its test flight at the Hyderabad airport in a big step towards revalidating the air operator certificate. The much-loved airline has not flown since April 17, 2019, after it ran into a huge debt. It is preparing to re-launch operations under its new promoters Jalan-Kalrock Consortium.
Taking to Twitter, Jet Airway CEO Sanjiv Kapoor said that the test flight’s operation was a “very emotional moment for all the wonderful folks who have been working hard to get Jet back in the skies”.
“Today, May 5, our 29th birthday, Jet Airways flew again! An emotional day for all of us who have been waiting, working, and praying for this day, as well as for Jet’s loyal customers who can’t wait for Jet to commence operations again,” Jet Airways tweeted from its official handle.
