Jet 2.0 was initially scheduled to start in July 2021. Later its court appointed resolution professional reportedly said it would start flying by December 2021. In the first year, the revamped airline will be operating only leased aircraft, both brand new and older ones, before placing orders for modern and fuel-efficient planes. Jet airways 2.0 will start with domestic operations. Since much of the fleet that is left with the airline is wide-body aircraft, the carrier will not use them anytime soon as it plans to restart as a domestic airline. The consortium is working with multiple aircraft lessors as well as aircraft manufacturers to source aircraft that will be inducted into the Jet Airways fleet over the next three to five years, sources close to the management said. At the peak of its operations, Jet Airways, in which Etihad Airways had taken a significant stake, used to operate 50 flights per day to 10 cities in the GCC, including three airports in the UAE.
