Aviation regulator DGCA has asked Jet Airways to assess availability of planes and plan its flight schedules well in time to avoid cancellations.

The airline has been forced to cancel several flights due to grounding of planes because of non-payment of lease rentals to aircraft lessors. A total of six planes have been grounded in March alone.

According to information shared by the airline, the airline has grounded 25 aircraft since Feb 7 due to payment issues.
