The Jalan-Kalrock Consortium, the resolution applicant of Jet Airways, has obtained the renewal for the air operator certificate (AOC) for the airline from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). The move paves the way for the grounded passenger carrier to revive its services in India.
The renewal of AOC revalidates the confidence of the Indian Aviation Regulator in the revival of Jet Airways, the airline said.
“JKC expresses its heartfelt gratitude to the aviation regulator, the Ministry of Civil Aviation, and all other stakeholders, in showcasing their faith in JKC and in the revival of Jet Airways,” the Jalan-Kalrock consortium said.
“The Jalan and Kalrock Consortium remains fully dedicated to the revival of Jet Airways and is committed to implementing a comprehensive strategy to ensure the airline’s success. JKC will continue to work closely with all relevant authorities, industry partners, and stakeholders in reviving Jet Airways in coming weeks,” it said in a statement.
