Banks slowing down Jet airways takeover. Why Indian banks unsupportive to Aviation Industry ?
Because of lender clearances, takeoff for the jet aircraft was hampered by strong winds
Due to severe financial debts and poor management, jetairways, one of the most iconic airlines in the Indian aviation industry, stopped operations in 2019. Now The winning bidder for the troubled Jet Airways is a group led by Murari Lal Jalan and Florian Fritsch of Kalrock Capital. The creditor’s committee of Jet Airways, which was slated to establish the airline in 2022, approved their bid with a vote total of almost 99 percent. however, it will now be forced to begin in the next year due to the banks’ intervention.
Building a firm is difficult, but as it develops into an international brand, it can go on to increase employment in the nation and boost the economy. Banks must act quickly in all of these situations to support the businesses operating them.
Due to current operations and new marketing concepts that would require three more months to set up all full services, Jetairways’ new owner JKC has been eagerly awaiting the takeover and has begun setting up all plans and operations. However, because of lender clearances, takeoff for the jet aircraft was hampered by strong winds.
Banks are the foundation of any business and play important roles in the economy. Indian banks need to take a lot of lessons from other nations. and move swiftly without hindrances free for corporations. Kingfisher Airlines is one of the companies that lost market share as a result of a banking problem after trying to settle the money with a number of sources but was refused permission to do so by the banks.
Banks are currently having issues with Jet Airways 2 because despite having planned and obtained its certification for operations, it has still not been given to the operators. According to JKC, they also submitted all the necessary paperwork and written correspondence with the lender banks, who have since refused to take an active role in the project’s operations.
According to the most recent information, the corporation has sent certain employees who were hired for operations on leave with lower pay simply due to the delay of the operations. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the start of operations, Jet Airways, which has not yet resumed operations under its new owner, would lower salaries for a variety of staff members and place a large number of employees on unpaid leave.
According to the most recent information, the airline intends to operate with eight fleets, with Bengaluru, Delhi, and Mumbai serving as its hubs. Even though JKC has contributed revenue for operations, the process has been halted due to unresolved bank issues.
The corporation plans to start up again in early 2022. It successfully conducted a test flight on May 5, 2022, the organization’s 29th anniversary of founding, which was necessary to obtain an Air Operators Permit (AOP).
On May 15, 2022, Jet Airways conducted it’s first three proving flights between Delhi and Mumbai, Mumbai and Ahmedabad, and Ahmedabad and Delhi. Jet Airways carried out the final proving flight on May 17, 2022. On June 22, 2021, the NCLT subsequently approved the resolution put forth by the Kalrock-Jalan consortium. In an oral order, the NCLT gave the Ministry of Civil Aviation and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation 90 days to give Jet Airways access to airport slots.

Boeing Faces New Setbacks as 777X Delays Extend and scraps B767-300F
Boeing’s challenges continue as employees halted production due to a strike, creating new obstacles for delivering aircraft to customers. The company now faces financial losses from delays in the delivery of its boeing 777x aircraft.
Boeing recently announced that the new delivery date for the 777-9 will be in 2026, with the freighter variant scheduled for 2028. This news has been frustrating for airlines that have committed to and are waiting for the aircraft.

The Boeing 777X program, which began in early 2019, was initially delayed to 2021 due to COVID-19 disruptions. Subsequent issues, including defects found during testing, have placed the program under scrutiny by the FAA, which insists on the aircraft meeting all safety standards before entering service. Boeing is now facing pressure from both airlines and investors.
Boeing 777x Delay
New Commercial Airplanes expects to incur pre-tax charges of $3.0 billion related to the Boeing 777X and 767 programs.
The company forecasts a $2.6 billion pre-tax charge due to the updated timeline, which accounts for delays in flight testing for the 777-9 and the impact of the IAM (International Association of Machinists) work stoppage. The first 777-9 delivery is now expected in 2026, with the 777-8 freighter following in 2028.

In addition, Boeing plans to conclude production of the 767 freighter, resulting in a $0.4 billion pre-tax charge. From 2027 onwards, the company will solely produce the 767-2C aircraft for the KC-46A Tanker program.
In August 2024, Boeing grounded its 777X test fleet after detecting a failure in a key engine mounting structure during a routine inspection. The new boeing 777x, powered by the GE9X engine, is the world’s largest and most efficient twin-engine jet, but this issue has caused further setbacks.

Meanwhile, the Airbus A350 continues to secure new orders from airlines, becoming a strong competitor in the wide-body aircraft segment. While the a350 vs b777 offer similar ranges, the 777X is designed to carry a heavier payload.
In other developments, Boeing has hinted at starting production of a new mid-sized aircraft, the Boeing 797, which would likely compete with the Airbus A321 XLR.
