MUMBAI: Mumbai: Lessors to Jet Airways (India) Ltd have grounded 15 more planes due to non-payment of rentals. The airline did not disclose its current fleet size in a regulatory filing on Tuesday. Two industry executives, who did not wish to be named, said the airline currently has 29 planes.
“As mentioned earlier, the Company is actively engaged with all its aircraft lessors and regularly provides them with updates on the efforts undertaken by the Company to improve its liquidity. Aircraft lessors have been supportive of the Company’s efforts in this regard,” Jet Airways said in its statement.
The airline is “also making all efforts to minimize disruption to its network due to the above and is proactively informing and re-accommodating its affected guests” while updating the Directorate General of Civil Aviation on the evolving scenario.
