US regulators looking into Jet Airways plans to begin flights

New Delhi: Jet Airways, the country's top private carrier, could start its much-awaited US operations from August as the process of getting clearances from American authorities is moving on track.
"Their applications are just being wrapped up. They have given us most of the details. They are planning to launch their flights this summer," Marion C Blakey, administrator of Us Federal Aviation Authority (FAA), said here.
Jet Airways plans to launch its Mumbai-Newark flight from August 5 this year.
She said any airline operating to and from the US would require approvals from economic and operating authorities, besides clearances on procedures and routes.
"Most of the details have been given by them," Blakey, who is here to attend India-US aviation partnership summit, said.
Asked about liquor baron Vijay Mallya's plans to launch an airline in the US to operate flights to India, she said American authorities had not received any such application.
