Jet Airways was once India’s leading full-service private airline, founded in 1992 and based in Mumbai. After years of mounting debt, it grounded all flights in April 2019. A years-long attempt to revive the airline under the Jalan-Kalrock Consortium ultimately collapsed, and in November 2024 India’s Supreme Court ordered Jet Airways into full liquidation, ending any remaining possibility of relaunch.
Jet Airways Route Network
Jet Airways no longer operates and, as of the Supreme Court’s 2024 liquidation order, will not resume flying. Its former domestic Indian and international routes have long since been absorbed by IndiGo, Air India, Vistara (now merged into Air India), and other Indian carriers.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Jet Airways grounded all flights on April 17, 2019, after running out of cash, and after a failed multi-year revival attempt, India's Supreme Court ordered the company into full liquidation on November 26, 2024 — meaning it will not fly again.
Jet Airways' IATA code was 9W, with ICAO code JAI.
Yes, the Jalan-Kalrock Consortium won a bid in 2021 to revive Jet Airways under India's insolvency process, but disputes with lenders over unmet financial commitments stalled the plan for years.

Jet Airways accumulated more than ₹8,500 crore in debt to financial creditors, alongside dues to vendors, lessors, and employees, and simply ran out of cash to keep flying by April 2019, grounding its entire fleet.
As of the most recent public filings, a court-appointed liquidator has been auctioning off Jet Airways' remaining physical assets — including vehicles, equipment, and other property — to help repay the airline's creditors, a slow process still ongoing years after the liquidation order.
IndiGo and Air India, along with the now-merged Vistara, absorbed the vast majority of the domestic and international routes Jet Airways previously served, reshaping India's aviation market significantly since 2019.
