Desperate for a financial lifeline to avoid collapse, India’s biggest private airline is now operating just 14 planes out of a total fleet of 124.

Saddled with debts of more than $1bn, Jet Airways is struggling to stay in the air, risking 23,000 jobs.

The closure of airspace and airports to commercial flights comes as tensions between two nuclear-armed neighbours worsen.

There are 23,000 jobs at stake, dependent on a tricky manoeuvre to give the debt-stricken carrier time to find fresh equity.

The passengers on a flight in India suffered severe pain because the crew forgot to pressurise the cabin.

The Indian airline has become the first carrier in India to fly the improved 737. And now it has upped its total for the MAX again, to 225.

It will be the first time the Indian and UK cities are connected with a direct service.

While marking its 25th anniversary, the airline also announces it is rearranging its first and business classes.

The fast-growing carrier takes its total 737 MAX order to 150 planes, showing that India is not slowing down.
