Govt allows airlines to use Jet’s domestic slots till September end

The government has allowed grounded carrier Jet Airways’ rival carriers to use its domestic flight slots for two more months till September 30, said two people in the know.

The slots—a total of 480 including departure and arrival slots—were earlier allocated for the period between May and July. The ministry of civil aviation has already farmed out more than 400 international slots to Jet’s peers till September end. The bankrupt airline grounded planes and cancelled flights all of this year before shutting operations on April 17.
