Lessors to Jet plan to de-register many more planes in coming days
Lessors to India’s Jet Airways Ltd are planning to ask the country’s aviation regulator to de-register many more planes leased to the airline, three sources told Reuters, signalling that a planned bailout of the troubled carrier is failing to assuage their concerns.
About six of Jet’s lessors are likely to apply to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to de-register up to 15 of the grounded planes, over the next 10 days, said one of the sources with direct knowledge of the situation.
Once a plane is de-registered, the lessors are free to take them out of the country and lease them to other airlines.
