The umbrella body of domestic pilots of crisis-hit Jet Airways on Tuesday threatened to stop flying from April 1 unless there is clarity on the resolution process and salary dues by end of this month. As problems mount at the airline, the National Aviator’s Guild (NAG) also expressed hope that a resolution plan would be reached by month-end. The guild, which came into being almost a decade ago, represents around 1,000 domestic pilots.
What is Jet Airways?
Jet Airways has consistently been one of India’s top three airlines in the past decade. Jet Airways was founded by ticketing agent-turned-entrepreneur Naresh Goyal after India ended a state monopoly on aviation in the early 1990s.
