It operates around 575 daily flights on an average to 62 domestic along with nine international destinations. They are further planning to take in more staff as and when it is required.
Notably, around 20,000 people of Jet Airways have lost their jobs and many have been deprived of their salaries. This resulted in the International Transport Workers Federation (ITF) stepping in and writing a letter to urge Prime Minister Narendra Modi to solve the crisis.
