Jet Aiways is also planning to await the reinstatement of slots along with bilateral traffic rights.
The group has also said that if everything goes smoothly according to the plan, the consortium receives the NCLT and regulatory approvals on time, Jet Airways will be “back in the skies by the summer of 2021.”
Jet 2.0 Hubs To Remain The Same; Sub-Hubs To Be Created For Tier 2 and 3 Cities
The plan also states the vision of the owners to regain the lost ground and set up new benchmarks for the airline industry, and help the airline revive rapidly.
As per reports, the Jet 2.0 hubs will remain Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru like before. The airline will also support Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities with the help of sub-hubs and boost the economy in these cities.
The Jet 2.0 plan also plans to emphasize the increasing cargo services so as to include dedicated freighter service, which is a market currently under-served by any Indian airline.
The new plan has already been approved by the airline’s creditors, which was submitted by the consortium. There are about 21,000 creditors who are seeking claims of Rs. 44000 crore and has also had almost all of its landing slots confiscated.
