Professional (RP) has written to the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA), seeking permission to use three Boeing 777 passenger aircraft in its fleet for cargo operations in the wake of the pandemic.
According to sources, MoCA has responded saying that it will “consider” the request. However, it may be a non-starter, as the approval process might take at least a month. Two people in the know told BusinessLine that, after approvals from the Committee of Creditors (CoC), the RP had emailed the request to MoCA on April 9.
Jet Airways suspended its operations in April 2019 following a cash crunch and was dragged to the insolvency court in June.
