The issue of allocation of airport slots to Jet Airways (India) Ltd could be resolved in the coming weeks with counsels for the winning bidders of the airline, the civil aviation ministry and the directorate general of civil aviation (DGCA), hoping for an amicable resolution of the issue after a series of meetings, the Mumbai bench of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) was informed on Monday.
The two-judge bench comprising Justices Janab Mohammed Ajmal and V. Nallasenapathy will hear the case next on 15 April.
In the previous hearing on 24 March, lawyers representing UAE-based businessman Murari Lal Jalan and UK-based Kalrock Capital, the winning consortium for Jet Airways, sought the NCLT’s permission to enter into talks with the aviation regulator on restoring airport slots of Jet Airways.
