Here is some relief coming in for the staff of Jet Airways, which has grounded its operations on April 19, after lenders refused it emergency funds to keep its operations going. Jet's rival SpiceJet has absorbed nearly 1,000 of the former's staff, according to SpiceJet chairman Ajay Singh. The grounded airline's CEO, Vinay Dube, told staff that all efforts by the airline's top leadership to get lenders to release some funds to pay staff salaries went in vain. It will be extremely difficult to revive Jet Airways now, since India's experience with Kingfisher Airlines shows that once grounded, an airline may not resurrect.
