Jet Airways has not flown since April 2019 due to financial failure. In June 2021, India's National Company Law Tribunal approved a resolution plan for the carrier, led by the United Arab Emirates-based entrepreneur, Murari Lal Jalan, and Florian Fritsch, the founder of UK-based investment fund Kalrock Capital. Media has reported Jet Airways has been granted the 9W airline code used in its previous life. Last week the airline posted its "first intake of cabin crew for the first proving flight to regain its AOC" on social media.
