Jet Airways has been making headlines for the past few months for some reason or the other. In another incident, a Jet Airways employee complained about money being debited from his Forex allowance without his consent. Jet Airways provided the pilots and cabin crew with Forex allowance for international trips so, during visits to overseas countries, they could use the money. However, Jet Airways pilots and crew alleged that money has been debited from their Axis Forex travel debit cards without prior intimation.

Jet Airways has been facing many incidents as the airline owes around Rs 9,000 crore to its lenders. It has not paid it's employees' salaries for around four months. On April 17, 2019, the Jet Airways management informed all the stakeholders that it would be "suspending all its domestic and international operations" till the airline receives the necessary funds to pay its employees and new management stepped in to set things right at Jet Airways.
