The DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation) on Friday granted air operator’s permit to Jet Airways. This will allow the airline to restart commercial flight operations after remaining grounded for more than three years.
The approval comes after the airline conducted proving flights for the safety regulator between May 15 and May 17.
With the grant of the permit, Jet Airways has fulfilled all the pre-conditions laid down by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) as part of the insolvency process for the transfer of the ownership of the airline to the successful resolution applicant- the consortium of UAE-based NRI Murari Lal Jalan and U.K.-based businessman Kalrock Capital Management in London.
