Banks slowing down Jet airways takeover. Why Indian banks unsupportive to Aviation Industry ?

The process of hiring pilots for fleets has started at Jet Airways. The airlines have not yet placed a plane order. It is unclear whether it will select Boeing or Airbus. In the past, it operated primarily Boeing 737 Max planes.

For its aircraft, including the Boeing 737 NG and MAX versions as well as the Airbus A320, Jet Airways is seeking to hire additional pilots. Although it has not yet been announced, there is a likelihood that the airline will pick up the aircraft from the lessor.

Jet Airways kept the Yellow livery for Branding designs from the earlier generations of the aircraft, and the firm is hopeful that it can restore the legacy of the Jet Airways brand in Indian skies.

Jet Airways, which operated for more than 20 years, was forced to halt operations on April 17, 2019, due to financial difficulties. In June 2019, a group of lenders, led by the State Bank of India, filed an insolvency petition to recover unpaid debts of more than Rs 8,000 crore.

The resolution plan put forth by the partnership between UK-based Kalrock Capital and UAE-based entrepreneur Murari Lal Jalan was approved by the airline’s Committee of Creditors (CoC) in October 2020. The National Company Law Tribunal approved the settlement plan in June 2021.

When Ratan Tata was denied entry to the airfield at the Aero India show, he waited

During our visit to Aero India 2019, we had the unexpected opportunity to see Ratan Tata at the event, which was a thrilling moment for us. However, there was a surprising hiccup when the security staff didn’t allow him to enter due to a lack of a security pass.

Despite this, he remained calm and patiently waited for about 20 minutes until a member of the Tata team brought him the required pass, after which he calmly proceeded inside. It was a humbling sight, showcasing his composed demeanor even in such situations.

Ratan Tata ji is not only a renowned industrialist but also a trained pilot, holding a pilot’s license. In 2007, he became the first Indian civilian to fly the F-16 Falcon during the Aero India show in Bangalore—a proud moment for the nation.

His passion for aviation extended beyond flying, as he played a key role in shaping India’s aerospace industry. Under his leadership, Tata ventured into manufacturing and maintaining aerospace components while upholding its legacy of quality. Notably, Tata’s collaboration with Airbus to develop and manufacture the C295 aircraft is a testament to its growing influence in the sector.
