Spicejet, Indigo bag half of Jet Airways’ slots allotted so far
Low-cost carriers SpiceJet and IndiGo have bagged more than half of Jet Airways’ vacant slots alloted so far as the hope for the grounded airline’s revival diminishes with each passing day.
The ministry of civil aviation has granted 479 landing and take-off slots so far out of 766 held by Jet across all airports. Of these 479 slots, SpiceJet got 130 while domestic market leader IndiGo was given permission to operate 127 slots.
While full-service carrier Vistara got 110 from Jet’s kitty, budget carriers GoAir and AirAsia were alloted 44 and 42 slots, respectively. National carrier Air India received a nod to operate 26 slots, including 2 to its regional subsidiary Alliance Air.
