MUMBAI: The civil aviation ministry has allowed domestic airlines to operate the slots vacated by the now-defunct Jet Airways at various airports till December 31, said an industry source on Tuesday.
Jet Airways, which is under insolvency proceedings, stopped flying from April 17, leaving hundreds of slots vacant at both domestic and international airports.
The government had allocated some of these slots to local carriers and allowed them to operate up to September 30 to overcome the capacity deficit.
The Jet Airways RP had received only three expressions of interest for a sale process launched by banks, but later one of the EoIs was withdrawn.
