Further attrition of Jet Airways' flights likely in coming weeks: DGCA

Aviation watchdog DGCA said Tuesday 41 Jet Airways flights are currently available for operation and there may be "further attrition" of flights "in coming weeks" as it observed the situation as "dynamic".

As per the Jet Airways' website, it has a fleet of 119 aircraft in total. For the past few weeks, passengers have been venting their ire on social media as the airline's flight cancellations have increased gradually due to the rising number of grounded aircraft.

Grappling with financial woes, the carrier has been looking at ways to raise fresh funds.

DGCA spokesperson said Tuesday,"The DGCA reviewed the performance of Jet Airways on operational, airworthiness & passenger facilitation today. Current availability of aircraft in the fleet for operation is 41 and accordingly scheduled for 603 domestic flights and 382 international flights has been drawn. However, it is a dynamic situation and there may be further attrition in coming weeks."
