The government plans to provide unused airport slots of Jet Airways to other domestic airlines on an interim basis, a senior official said Wednesday, amid efforts to minimise flight disruptions.
Cash-strapped Jet Airways, which is looking to raise fresh funds, has grounded at least 47 planes due to non-payment of lease rentals. Besides, many aircraft are on the ground due to other reasons.
Against this backdrop, the civil aviation ministry officials on Wednesday held a meeting with representatives of various domestic airlines.
Civil Aviation Secretary Pradip Singh Kharola said the ministry would discuss with Jet Airways about its requirements, including how many slots are being used.
