Jet Airways begins hiring pilots for A320, 737NG, 737 MAX aircraft

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.

Boeing Transfers Rocket Stage to NASA, Paving Way for Human Moon Mission

Boeing has achieved a significant milestone by providing NASA with the second core stage of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket.

This crucial component, crafted at NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility (MAF), is set to propel the Artemis II crew into lunar orbit, marking humanity’s return to deep space after a 50-year hiatus.

The monumental Boeing-built rocket stage, the largest element of the Artemis II mission, will embark on a journey aboard the Pegasus barge, traveling 900 miles to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.

Upon arrival, it will be meticulously integrated with other essential Artemis II components, including the upper stage, solid rocket boosters, and NASA’s Orion spacecraft within the iconic Vehicle Assembly Building. This intricate integration process is a vital step toward the eagerly anticipated Artemis II launch, slated for 2025.

“Boeing-built products helped land humankind on the moon in 1969, and we’re proud to continue that legacy through the Artemis generation,” remarked Dave Dutcher, vice president and program manager for Boeing’s SLS program. “Together, with NASA and our industry partners and suppliers, we are building the world’s most capable rocket and paving the way to deep space through America’s rocket factory in New Orleans.”

The delivery of Core Stage 2 marks a significant achievement in the evolution of the SLS rocket. Towering over 200 feet and powered by four RS-25 engines, this core stage, coupled with two solid-fueled booster rockets, will generate a staggering 8.8 million pounds of thrust. This immense power is crucial to launching Artemis II and future missions into the vast expanse of space.

The SLS rocket stands unparalleled in its capability to transport both crew and substantial cargo to the moon and beyond in a single launch. Its extraordinary capacity will facilitate the delivery of human-rated spacecraft, habitats, and scientific missions to destinations including the moon and Mars, ushering in a new era of space exploration.
