The temporary suspension of Jet Airways' operations will complete one month on May 17. The hustle and bustle of the domestic airports, especially in the metro cities, has come to a halt because the sudden departure of the oldest private airline from the market has left a void of around 750 slots.
As many as 766 slots of Jet Airways were vacant in the country, with nearly 55 percent or 420 of these slots at the airports of Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Nagpur, sources close to the development told CNBC-TV18.
While the slot allocation committee has been working on distributing vacant slots of Jet Airways to other carriers since March 20 on an ad-hoc basis for an interim period, only 479 slots have been allocated so far, sources said. Out of these, less than 40% are operational so far.
This means that, against a fall in the market capacity of 766 slots of Jet Airways, capacity equivalent to around 180 slots has been restored with the help of other airlines but there is a still a humungous gap of around 590 slots, non-operational or unallocated, CNBC-TV18 has learnt.
