New Delhi: The grounding of Jet Airways is turning into a quick windfall and long-term opportunity for international airlines keen to scoop up nearly a million outbound passengers from what was once the nation’s biggest airline.
Jet, which previously had a fleet of around 120 largely Boeing Co planes, was forced to indefinitely halt all flight operations on April 17. The carrier’s descent into crisis has benefitted international airlines in the form of rising fares and demand, data showed.
