NEW DELHI: Beleaguered airline Jet Airways on Tuesday announced grounding of 15 more aircraft over non-payment of outstanding dues to lessors. With the latest announcement, Jet is now left with only 20 operational aircraft, out of a fleet strength of around 120.
The fresh grounding is likely to cause more trouble for passengers, who, in recent times, have been struggling with high cancellation rates and spike in fare prices.
“The Company is also making all efforts to minimize disruption to its network due to the above and is proactively informing and re-accommodating its affected guests,” Jet Airways said in a statement.
