In an official statement, the CEO of Jet Airways wrote, "Late last night we were informed by SBI, on behalf of the consortium of Indian lenders, that they are unable to consider our request for interim funding. Since no emergency funding from the lenders or any other source of funding was forthcoming, it would therefore not have been possible for us to pay for fuel or other critical services to keep the operations going."
He added, "A decision like this is never easy to make, but without the interim funding, which we have been repeatedly requesting for, we are simply unable to conduct flight operations in a manner that delivers to the very reasonable expectations of our guests, employees, partners and service providers."
This Decision has made frequent Jet Airways fliers emotional and netizens have taken to Twitter to express their grief.
My last flight home was on #JetAirways. The airline was among the good full-service carriers on the Delhi-Bagdogra route. https://t.co/C3xVuH60dw

You guys are a class apart. In a sector where people only complain when things go wrong, I always appreciated the extra service. Good luck.

This is just sweet.
Few months ago I was flying mumbai to Kolkata with you guys, it was a late night flight n I was exhausted. As the seats next to me were empty,I slept off. When I woke up, I had a pillow under my head & a blanket covering me.This is what I’ll always remember of you. Thank you
