The seven-member monitoring committee would constitute of three members appointed by the resolution applicant, three members appointed by the financial creditors having highest share in the CoC and an independent insolvency professional appointed by the financial creditors, preferably the existing resolution professional.

On June 22, the Mumbai bench of the NCLT approved the resolution plan of the Kalrock-Jalan Consortium and gave a 90-day time period to the DGCA and the Civil Aviation Ministry to allot the slots.

Talking to IANS, Jet Aircraft Maintenance Engineers Welfare Association (JAMEWA) President Ashish Mohanty, said that as per the order, within 90 days, the Ministry and the Directorate General Civil Aviation should consider the request for slots, so that it will help Jet Airways to be back in the skies sooner.
