On Tuesday, the Board meeting of the Jet Airways with the SBI-led consortium, on releasing the funds for the airline, remained inconclusive.
Jet Airways CEO Vinay Dube in a letter to its employees said the airline has been working with the Indian lenders to provide all support, which may be required to keep the airline resurrect. He said they have highlighted during the meet with the bankers, the urgent need of funding, which is critical for the continuation of the airline's operations.
Meanwhile on Wednesday, the cash-strapped Jet Airways is operating with five planes only.
Earlier, on April 13, the airline employees had organised a peaceful silent march at Terminal -3 of the IGI airport demanding their salaries.
