Pilots of grounded Jet Airways moved the Supreme Court Tuesday seeking direction to SBI to provide the assured interim finance for restarting operations, suspension of which has affected the livelihood of around 22,000 employees.
The petition filed by National Aviators Guild has sought a direction to the Centre and the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to disallow slots of Jet Airways to other airlines on permanent basis.
The plea, filed by advocate Gaurav Agrawal, has sought that the airline should not get deregistered.
The distressed airlines, which had 115 aircraft, started suffering losses and could not pay the employees from last December.
