Jet offers 50% reduced rate after pilots resume work
Kolkata: For Jet, the 5-day strenuous standoff ended on Sunday morning with over 500 “sick” pilots reporting back to work.
However, to make up for the losses and get back customers, Jet Airways is offering tickets at 50% reduced price on full economy fares for bookings made on Monday and Tuesday for travel until September 18th.
Jet’s executive director Saroj K Dutta announced to the media the end of impasse and restoration of all services. But most flights could not resume due to problems in restoring, last minute glitches and drastic drop in bookings on the domestic circuit.
Jet had taken immediate steps to restore all international flights by Sunday, Sudhir Rahgavan, chief commercial officer, said. All domestic flights are expected to resume by Tuesday.
“We generally have a revenue of Rs 40 crore (Rs 400 million) a day and since the strike, passengers numbers dropped from 23,000 a day to 14,000 and then to 7,000. You can well imagine the loss,” said Dutta.
“There has been a misunderstanding with management which has been solved. We will restore our airline’s glory,” said Captain Girish Kaushik, president of the guild.
