Ministry asked to clarify on Jet Airways slots

The Mumbai Bench of the NCLT has directed the DGCA and the Ministry of Civil Aviation to give clarity on the slots available to Jet Airways. The NCLT has asked senior officials from the Ministry to be present for the next hearing on December 17. This is probably the third time the NCLT has asked the Centre to provide details of the Jet Airways slots.

The slots are important for potential bidders to value the airline. Without them, the airline becomes useless. A slot is a date and time at which an airline’s aircraft is permitted to depart or arrive at an airport.
