Jet Airways 2.0 faces turbulence before take-off?
Business StandardWaiting in the wings since April 2019 -- when it was grounded due to a financial crisis -- Jet Airways has been looking to hit the skies for long now. The new owners, British firm Kalrock Capital and UAE-based entrepreneur Murari Lal Jalan, have time and again asserted that Jet Airways 2.0 will take off in the beginning of this year. While Gaur’s replacement has been found in head of training and standards in Nepal Airlines, PP Singh, there are several other tasks to complete before Jet Airways 2.0 can take off. Jet Airways 2.0 is understood to have a fleet of 11 aircraft, including Boeing 777, 737 and Airbus A330, on its books now. To get a better understanding of the challenges facing Jet Airways, we spoke to Mark D Martin, CEO of Martin Consulting, an aviation consulting and safety firm based in Asia.
