Jet Airways pilots write to PMO, seek probe into allegations of conspiracy

Mumbai: National Aviators Guild (NAG) — the pilot body of Jet Airways — has written to the Prime Minister’s Office, seeking a probe into Subramaniam Swamy’s allegations of conspiracy that has delayed the resolution of the airline’s debt.
Last week, in a letter to the Civil Aviation Minister Suresh Prabhu, Swamy, Member of Parliament, had alleged, “There is a serious effort by private airlines such as Spicejet and Vistara to benefit from this dismemberment of Jet Airways. This is being supported by some of your colleagues and officers whom I can name in a private meeting with you.”
NAG, in an email to the Prime Minister, stated,“We urge you to kindly intervene in the matter and order a probe to establish whether a larger conspiracy was at play, or of any collusion between SBI and Etihad, as the only one decimated here, has been the employees and Jet Airways at large.”
The union urged to preserve and maintain the slots, bilaterals and stop further de-registration of aircraft and re-registration to the competitors. Jet Airways’ several slots have been temporarily given to other airlines, including Indigo, Spicejet and Vistara. The pilots’ body said that even a temporary issue of slots to rival airlines will mar the future of Jet Airways.
