Ministry may form panel to decide on Jet Airways’ bilateral rights
NEW DELHI: The civil aviation ministry is likely to form a working committee to find new ways to reallocate Jet Airways’ overseas flying rights in the wake of IndiGoNSE 0.90 % and GoAir complaining about the procedure followed last time, industry insiders said.
“The ministry has assured us that they will put a working committee together and again discuss inputs from all parties involved to understand what’s the best way (to allocate foreign flying rights) going forward,” Samir Patel, vice-president (network planning) at GoAir, told ET.
The ministry had last month allocated Jet Airways’ bilateral flying rights to other Indian airlines for three months ending September. IndiGo and Spice-Jet had got the maximum number of rights at 84 and 77 weekly flights, respectively.
