DGCA approves Jet Airways’ summer schedule only till April 25

Indian aviation watchdog DGCA has approved the summer schedule of flights of Jet Airways from March 31 to April 25 only, according to an official document.

The summer schedule of flights of all other domestic airlines such as Vistara, IndiGo, Air India and GoAir have been approved till October 26, according to the document.

The summer schedule begins on March 31, 2019 for all the airlines.

As per the international practice, DGCA approves two flight schedules in a year, namely, ‘summer schedule’ effective from Sunday of the last week of March and ‘winter schedule’ effective from Sunday of the last week of October.

A major crisis at the struggling Jet Airways was averted Sunday after its pilots’ body, National Aviator’s Guild (NAG), deferred till April 15 its call for halting operations.

The NAG, which claims to represent around 1,100 of the 1,600 Jet Airways pilots, had announced earlier that its members will not fly from April 1, unless their salary dues were cleared and clarity was provided on future payments by March 31.
