New Delhi, Sep 13 Jet Airways is all set to resume domestic operations from Q1 of 2022, said Jalan Kalrock Consortium, the successful resolution applicant of the airline.

"Our plan is to have 50 plus aircraft in 3 years and 100 plus in 5 years which also fits perfectly well with the short-term and long-term business plan of the consortium. The aircraft are being selected based on competitive long term leasing solutions."

Besides, the consortium said that Jet Airways will now be headquartered in Delhi NCR.

Furthermore, it said that the revival plan for Jet Airways is being implemented as approved by NCLT and all the creditors will be settled as per the plan in the coming months.
