Hyderabad, First Published May 6, 2022, 12:35 PM IST
The Jet Airways plane was flown for 90 minutes yesterday in Hyderabad for a test attempt after 3 years.
In April 2019, Jet Airways flew again after a gap of 3 years after being suspended due to a debt problem. On May 5, Jet Airways’ 29th birthday, Jet Airways took a new birth on the same day.
Jet Airways is the oldest private airline launched in India in 1993. It ceased operations in 2019 due to various financial crises. Thereafter, the Jalan Kalrak Federation filed a restructuring plan with the National Company Law Tribunal and obtained approval to operate Jet Airways again.
Jet Airways, which ceased operations in 2019 due to the financial crisis, is set to resume operations soon after 3 years.
Sanjeev Kapoor, who was the head of the Oprah Hotel, has taken over as the CEO of Jai Airways. Prior to that, he served as Commercial Officer at Vistara Airlines and as Chief Executive Officer at SpiceJet.
In this case, the test aircraft must be flown and certified by the Director of Flight Control before Jet Airways can formally enter commercial service. Accordingly, a Jet Airways test flight from Hyderabad Airport took off yesterday after a gap of 3 years.
This was shared on behalf of Jet Airways on its official Twitter page, which read: “Today is May 5th, our 29th birthday. Today Jet Airways has flown again. It was an emotional day for all of us who waited, worked, and prayed for this day. This day is emotional for Jet Airways customers as well. ”
Jet Airways CEO Sanjeev Kapoor had re-shared the company’s Twitter page on his page. “Today is a classic, emotional day for all those who helped Jet Airways fly back into the sky. This is a testing flight, this is not a definite trip. The flight will depart from Hyderabad and reach Delhi. From there it will come to Hyderabad later. ”
Jet Airways used a Boeing 737-800 aircraft for its testing. Flight 9W101 took off from Hyderabad to Delhi yesterday.
Jet Airways has hired more than 200 employees to resume business. It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post. But reports suggest that the first trip will begin in the summer
