The Directorate General of Civil Aviation has tried to soothe public anxiety over Jet Airways\u2019 condition by saying that it had cleared the airline\u2019s schedule involving 41 aircraft for 603 domestic and 382 international flights a week. It, however, warned that \u201cit is a dynamic situation and there may be further attrition in coming weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n
The DGCA statement was probably in response to a tweet by Suresh Prabhu, Minister for Civil Aviation in which he directed \u201cthe Ministry of Civil Aviation to hold an emergency meeting on the grounding of flights by Jet Airways. Advance booking, cancellation, refunds and safety issues if any. Asked him to get a report on Jet compliance issues from the DGCA.\u201d<\/p>\n
