MUMBAI: Financially-stressed Jet Airways on Friday said two more of its aircraft have been grounded due to non-payment of lease rentals.
With this, the total number of aircraft taken out of operations due to cash crunch in the airline and its subsequent failure to pay rentals to various lessors has gone up to 21 so far.
In a filing to the stock exchanges, the full-service airline said, “An additional two aircraft have been grounded due to non-payment of amounts outstanding to lessors under their respective lease agreements.” The carrier is actively engaged with all its aircraft lessors and regularly provides them with updates on the efforts undertaken to improve its liquidity, the filing said.
