Jet Airways conducted its test flight to and from the Hyderabad airport on Thursday in a step towards obtaining the air operator certificate.

Once India's biggest private carrier, Jet had stopped flying in April 2019 after facing a massive financial crunch. It is currently in the process of relaunching operations under its new promoters Jalan-Kalrock Consortium.

On Thursday, the airline’s CEO Sanjiv Kapoor said on Twitter that the test flight’s operation was a very emotional moment “for all the wonderful folks who have been working hard to get Jet back in the skies”.
