Jet Airways’ Boeing 737 comeback: Vistara to soon get approval to fly grounded planes

Tata group’s full-service airline Vistara will soon get government approval in a week to fly grounded Boeing B737 aircraft, which earlier belonged to the beleaguered rival Jet Airways, CNBC TV18 reported citing unidentified sources. The Tata SIA joint venture airline had applied for operating 10 Boeing aircraft that previously belonged to the grounded Jet Airways while the low-cost rival SpiceJet sought the permission to fly 40 B737 aircraft, the news channel cited government sources as saying. The airlines’ watchdog DGCA has expeditiously de-registered Jet Airways planes. Financial Express Online has reached out to Vistara for further comments on the matter.
