‘Paet’ project: Crisis Ridden Jet Airways To Henceforth Leave Flyers Empty Stomach Mid Air

Jet Airways has stopped serving in-flight free meals aboard its planes from 26 September. The financially turbulent airline company from now onwards will not be serving meals to its economy class flyers, Free Press Journal has reported.

The company in a statement said, “Currently fare choices in economy offers a total of five fare options — light, deal, saver, classic and flex. Jet has now unbundled fares in light and deal categories of fare choices in the economy for flights within India … as guests want the flexibility of enjoying competitive fares with the options to buy meals.”

“Guests can choose from vegetarian and non-vegetarian meals, including hot meal options on select flights and pay using their debit/credit cards. Complimentary beverage service including tea and coffee to all guests in Economy (including light/deal fares), will continue on eligible flights.” the statement further added.

Naresh Goyal led Jet Airways is going through a period of crisis and has last month reported a massive loss of Rs 1,323 crore for the April-June quarter. The losses were primarily due to rising fuel prices, depreciating rupee and lower fares. In the earlier quarter too, the company had reported a loss. Last year the company had reported a Rs 53.50 crore profit in the same quarter.
