Jet Airways is ready to start its second innings in India after a gap of nearly two and a half years. Having said that, the airline has already been granted the operating permit from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). Furthermore, it carried out the training of the first batch of cabin crew last week at Gurugram center.
With Sanjiv Kapoor at the helm as CEO, Jet Airways will begin operations on domestic routes initially, until the airline reaches the 20 aircraft mark required for it to fly international. Kapoor has been a veteran of the aviation industry as he has occupied leadership roles in multiple airlines like Vistara and SpiceJet. Interestingly, Jet will not use even a single aircraft from its older fleet and instead all the planes will be brand new and leased from foreign lessors.
