Jet Airways Services to Resume Soon; Working on Revalidating Air Operator Certificate

Date:

Jet Airways Jet Airways announced on Thursday that it is working closely with authorities to re-validate its “air operator certificate.” The restart efforts are “progressing well,” according to a corporate statement. The statement stated, “We are working closely with the Ministry of Civil Aviation, Government of India, and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation on the clearance process and timescales for proving flight, following which Jet Airways’ ‘Air Operator Certificate’ would be re-validated.” Restarting an airline, according to the statement, is a complicated process that “must be done properly” in conjunction with regulatory authorities. “The process is well under way.” The timing represents the average duration of an AOC process, although we fully intend to complete the proving flight and receive the AOC far ahead of the scheduled dates.” Furthermore, according to the statement, the timeframe extension has “nothing to do with where aircraft are registered and deregistered, or the cost of leasing.” “Further, there is no regulatory requirement of taking an aircraft outside India for the purposes of re-registration. We are working with multiple aircraft lessors as well as aircraft manufacturers to source aircraft that will be inducted into the Jet Airways fleet over the next three to five years.”
