‘We Hope To Fly Again Soon,’ Pilot's Heartfelt Message To Passengers On Last Jet Airways Flight

We all know that Jet Airways has suspended its operations as of now. One of India’s more beloved airlines was extremely strapped for cash towards the end and to the extent that their fleet of 119 planes was reduced to a mere five by the end of the affair.

The last JetConnect flight was scheduled to take off from Amritsar to Mumbai at 10:20 pm on Wednesday. Passengers that were booked on flight 9W 2502 were not sure if the carrier would take off and get them to their destination until it actually took off from Amritsar.

However, before the flight took off, the pilot had a special and yet emotional announcement to make:

“This is our last flight. The operations have been temporarily suspended. We hope to fly again soon. When we do, do book with us.”

Shareef Abdullah, a resident of Amritsar told the Indian Express that he would often travel by Jet Airways to Mumbai for imitation jewellery work since the airline provided him with good connectivity. Talking about his travels with the airline, he said, “I often took this flight. Didn’t realise tonight will be the last flight until they announced in plane. Since I travel regularly, I will have to look for alternative airlines. At least, I’ll miss it.”

It is to be seen what the future holds for the employees of Jet Airways.
