Jet Airways, which has been grounding planes due to a cash crunch, will see a dip in number of domestic flights this winter. And Air India, which is not inducting more planes, will see only a marginal increase.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has approved this year’s winter schedule — in effect from last Sunday of October to last Saturday of March — of domestic flights. There will be a substantial increase in domestic flights, thanks to other airlines except the two troubled full service carriers (FSC).
DGCA has approved 23,117 domestic flights per week. “There is a net increase of 22% over the last winter schedule. AI will have 1.2% more weekly domestic departures this winter over previous one, while Jet will have a 1.2% decline in departures,” said a DGCA official, He added, “Every airline files its schedule requirement based on the fleet size they expect to have that season... Both AI and Jet were asked if they would have the number of planes based on which they filed for domestic flights this winter”.
