NEW DELHI: Ongoing financial and operational turbulence in a few domestic airlines has resulted in the cancellation of over a hundred flights per day and, if trends are to be believed, it is unlikely that there will be any relief to air passengers in the near future.
Debt-laden Jet Airways has grounded a total of 25 aircraft so far and industry sources say it will ground around 20 more planes in the coming days due to unpaid dues to lessors.
At present, Jet alone is cancelling over a 100 flights per day, while the country’s biggest carrier IndiGo, which is facing a shortage of pilots, is reportedly cancelling over 50 flights per day.
