In the press statement released by Jet Airways, it was revealed that Jet Airways was informed by the State Bank of India (SBI), on behalf of the consortium of Indian Lenders, that they are unable to consider its request for critical interim funding. Since no emergency funding from the lenders or any other source is forthcoming, the airline will not be able to pay for fuel or other critical services to keep the operations going. Consequently, with immediate effect, Jet Airways is compelled to cancel all its international and domestic flights.

Jet Airways will operate its last flight for the day at around 10.30 p.m tonight. Jet Airways owes over Rs 8,000 crore to the SBI-led consortium of lenders. Its only ray of hope was an <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/articles/rs-10-000-crore-needed-for-jet-to-stay-afloat/412150" target="_blank">immediate injection of interim funding</a> and the completion of the stake sale process initiated by lenders. But now since that has failed, Jet Airways has finally announced the temporary suspension of all flight operations.
