Jet Airways cancels international flights as crisis deepens

Jet Airways appears to have suspended all its international flights, raising fresh fears about the survival of India's largest private airline.

The airline, saddled with more than $1bn (£765m) of debt, is seeking a financial lifeline to avoid collapse.

The Indian government said steps were being taken to ensure passenger safety after flights were cancelled.

Carriers in India must maintain a fleet of least 20 aircraft to continue to operate international services.

On Thursday, the airline grounded 10 more planes over unpaid fees to leasing firms and several local media reported the airline is now operating 14 planes.

The airline has more than 100 aircraft in its fleet, and flies on 600 domestic and 380 international routes.

From London, the airline confirmed it had cancelled its flights between London and India for 12 April, but provided no information on other routes.
