NEW DELHI: The government is likely to start distributing foreign flying rights of Jet AirwaysNSE 0.93 % among other carriers towards the end of next week if the airline does not find new owners quickly.
“We plan to award the rights to airlines which have put in requests,” said an aviation ministry official who did not wish to be identified. “The demands are primarily for destinations such as Singapore, Thailand and the Middle East,” he added.
The move is likely to worry prospective bidders for Jet who are banking on the stricken airline’s ability to retain lucrative flying rights and slots at airports.
