'Come back home' says Jet Airways inviting former cabin crew to rejoin the airline

Jet Airways, under its new ownership of Jalan-Kalrock Consortium is all set to restart its commercial flight operations in India. The former full service air carrier has received necessary clearance from Home Ministry and DGCA to start its second innings in the country. Ahead of flights ops, Jet Airways began its operational hiring and asked its former cabin crew members to rejoin the airline. In an advertisement on Twitter on Friday, the airline said: "There's really nothing like home! Inviting former Jet Airways cabin crew to come back and join us in relaunching India's classiest airline."

Jet Airways will begine its operations with female cabin crew for now and will hire male cabin crew later, following the Vistara's hiring model. "For now we are inviting female crew only. Male crew recruitment to commence as we scale up," it added.
