Jet Airways flight cancellations: Now, airline's schedule under DGCA monitoring

According to a senior official, the airline has been asked if it is able to maintain its flight schedule.

On its part, a Jet Airways spokesperson said that the airline has reinstated three aircraft into its fleet post the engine normalisation exercise.

The airline had cancelled over 10 flights on Wednesday a day after four aircraft were grounded. The interim grounding of the four Boeing 737 aircraft had led to 19 flight cancellations on Tuesday.

However, the number of cancellations was lower due to optimised flight rotation and fleet management.

Speculation is rife that the aircraft were grounded for non-payment of dues to lessors and lack of spares.

The airline on Wednesday denied this, stating that operational and fleet maintenance reasons were behind the grounds, which it said were of temporary nature. Jet currently has over 120 aircraft.
