April 12, 2019"Jet is operating only nine planes on Friday," a source said.
Cash-strapped Jet Airways on Thursday grounded its services to and from the east and northeast regions. It also suspended its international operations for a day. Consequently, many passengers were left stranded at the airports.
The sources said the airline now owes more than Rs 3,500 crore to passengers on account of flight cancellations alone.
As of Thursday noon, the airline operated just 14 planes -- compared with 123 planes at the peak of its operations.
