Jet Airways Auctioning Off Their Parked B737s - What's Next for These Birds?

Started by SNSpotter60 1 months ago 5 replies 73 views
So I just saw that Jet Airways, which has been defunct for a while now, is planning to auction off their parked Boeing 737s. I guess they're finally ready to part ways with these planes. It's kinda sad to see, considering Jet Airways used to be pretty big in India. But I suppose it's better than letting them just sit there, right?

These 737s have been parked for a long time, so I'm curious about what kind of condition they're in. I'm no expert, but I imagine there's a lot of work needed to get them back in the air. And who knows if there are buyers out there interested in picking them up?

I'm also wondering what this means for the future of Jet Airways. Are they trying to raise some cash to pay off debts, or is there still hope they might make a comeback? Would be interesting to see if someone tries to revive the brand or if this is the final chapter.

Anyone know if there's been any word on potential buyers? And what do you think is the likely fate of these planes - back in the skies or parted out for spares?
I think most of those 737s will probably end up getting parted out for spares. They've been sitting for so long, and bringing them back to flying condition would take a lot. Plus, with so many newer models around, buyers might prefer those over older ones. As for Jet Airways, I doubt they're coming back. Seems like they're just trying to settle debts. But hey, maybe someone will surprise us and try to revive the brand. Who knows?
I bet most of these 737s will end up as spare parts. They've been sitting for ages, and getting them airworthy again wouldn't be cheap or easy. Plus, with newer fuel-efficient models out there, airlines might not want to invest in these older planes. As for Jet Airways, selling these could be a last-ditch effort to pay off some debts. Reviving the brand might be tough, but stranger things have happened in aviation. Anyone heard about any specific airlines showing interest?
I think you're on point about the condition of those 737s. Sitting parked for so long isn't great for airplanes. Moisture, dust, and lack of maintenance can really take a toll. I read that when planes sit for extended periods, it can lead to corrosion and other issues. So yeah, even if someone buys them, there's a lot of work ahead. As for Jet Airways' future, who knows? Maybe selling the planes helps them settle debts, but reviving the brand might be a stretch. Any rumors about which companies might be interested?
I've been following Jet Airways for a while, and I think they're auctioning these 737s mainly to pay off debts. It's a long shot for them to make a comeback, but who knows? As for the planes, they might find buyers willing to refurbish them, but it's probably more likely they'll be parted out. It's tough to compete with newer, more efficient models. Still, I wonder if any Indian carriers are eyeing them for domestic routes.
