Air India Chairman Keen on Operating 5 Grounded Jet Boeing 777s

Air India Chairman Ashwani Lohani on Thursday, 18 April, has written to the SBI chief, showing an interest in operating Jet Airways’ five grounded Boeing 777s, reported PTI.

With lenders not extending emergency funds, the cash-starved Jet Airways on Wednesday, 17 April, announced temporary suspension of operations.

Expressing his dismay, Lohani said Wednesday that the closure of jet Airways was a setback for Indian Aviation and a sad day for all those in the business of flying.
