"The Consortium maintains its stand that it wants to work alongside the Ministry of Civil Aviation, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and all its competitors to put Jet Airways back in the skies," it further read. Previously, the Union Government submitted an affidavit stating that Jet Airways cannot claim airport slots and that the slots allocated to the airline were distributed to other domestic airlines after Jet shut down operations two years ago. The initial bid put forth by the Jalan-Kalrock consortium received the approval of the Committee of Creditors in October 2020.
