NEW DELHI: Cash-strapped
Jet Airways on Monday said it has grounded four more planes, taking the number of
aircraft
that are non-operational due to
non-payment
of
lease
rentals to 41.
Grappling with financial woes, the carrier has been looking at ways to raise fresh funds.
"... an additional four aircraft have been grounded due to non-payment of amounts outstanding to
lessors
under their respective lease agreements," the airline said in a filing to the stock exchanges.
According to the company, as mentioned earlier, it is actively engaged with all its aircraft lessors and are regularly providing them with updates on the efforts taken to improve the liquidity.
"Aircraft lessors have been supportive of the company's efforts in this regard," it said, adding that all efforts are being made to minimise disruption to its network.
Earlier this month, Jet Airways chairman
Naresh Goyal said that more than 50 of its aircraft were not operating.
