No More Jet Airways. Supreme Court Says "No Choice", Orders Liquidation

After three years, Jet Airways is ready to resume operations, and according to the most recent development, it has chosen five planes to relaunch its operations in India. According to reports, Jet Airways would add three A320 Neo and two B737-8 MAX aircraft to its inventory. Even though the airline is still in the process of doing so, no leasing agreements have yet been executed with lessors.

Although it was previously reported that the airline will launch operations in September, it now seems unlikely that it will even happen in October. As Airbus has put this plane under Jet Airways’ name in its monthly report, the Airbus A320neo would be the first aircraft joining the airline despite there being no formal statement on the fleet structure. Additionally, the Jet Airways logo was seen on the aircraft at Maastricht Airport. “The image of the Airbus aircraft bearing the Jet Airways brand is authentic.”

For both Airbus and Boeing aircraft, the airline is currently employing pilots and cabin crew. The airline announced, “We are extremely close to finalizing our initial fleet plan in preparation for opening for sale soon and restarting operations in the next weeks,” in a statement to CNBC-TV18 on September 27.

No “deadline” exists goal dates are established solely by us, and we have consistently insisted that this is a marathon, not a sprint. We previously stated that our goal was to debut by October 2022, and we are currently on schedule to do so.

There was no response to the inquiry addressed to Jet Airways. Due to its deteriorating financial situation and mounting debt, Jet Airways was forced to cease operations in 2019. Currently, Florian Fritsch, Chairman of Kalrock Capital Management Ltd., and Dubai-based businessman Murari Lal Jalan are in charge of it.

PIA Reinstates Manchester and Paris Routes After EU Ban Lift

Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has announced plans to resume flights to Europe starting in January, beginning with Paris as its first destination.

The decision follows the European Union Aviation Safety Agency’s (EASA) removal of a long-standing ban on the airline. PIA’s inaugural flight to Paris is scheduled for January 10, with bookings opening on December 9.

In an official statement, PIA spokesperson Abdullah Hafeez Khan confirmed that the first flight schedule has been approved, marking a significant milestone in the airline’s recovery efforts. The EU ban had previously cost PIA approximately Rs40 billion ($144 million) annually in lost revenue, compounding its financial struggles.

With European operations restarting, PIA is now setting its sights on the United Kingdom. The airline plans to seek approval from the UK Department for Transport (DfT) to resume flights to major British cities such as London, Manchester, and Birmingham.
