Pune: The airport authorities said Jet Airways would have to re-apply for its slots if the airline failed to resume its flights by April-end.
“At present, Jet Airways is using just three of its slots at the Pune airport and the rest are empty because its aircraft are not flying. Only the airline can give a pinpoint information on when all the flights will resume, but we expect them to be back in business by the end of April. The slots will be with the airline till then. If the airline cannot resume services by April-end, it will have to re-apply for the slots,” an airport official told TOI.
The official said the slots belonging to Jet Airways would be passed on to other airlines in May if things remained unchanged. “The empty slots can be used by other airlines for flight operations. The airline (Jet) has a month with it and the airport will not be transferring the slots to others during this period,” he said.
If one goes through the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA)’s summer schedule effective from March 31 to October 26, the to-and-fro flights of Jet Airways stand at 15 and its entire schedule has been approved only till April 25. All the 15 flights listed in the summer schedule (until April 25) are to/from Delhi, Mumbai and Indore.
