Jet Airways: Irish lessor moves NCLT seeking to take back Boeing 777
MUMBAI: Irish aircraft leasing firm Fleet Ireland, which had leased the impounded Boeing B777 plane to the defunct Jet AirwaysNSE 1.45 %, Friday moved the NCLT seeking a recall of the tribunal’s July 5 order that directed DGCA not to deregister the aircraft on the ground that it is an affected party and thus needs to be heard.
The aircraft was seized by a European cargo operator at the Amsterdam airport end March for non-payment of dues. Following this, a Dutch court had ordered bankruptcy proceedings against the airline in May.
The tribunal adjourned the matter to September 3.
The bankruptcy tribunal had on July 5, prevented the Directorate General of Civil Aviation from deregistering the Boeing 777 plane, which has been under the possession of a Dutch cargo provider since April.
