Jet Airways is getting closer to starting commercial flights, as sources indicate that the carrier has purchased an Airbus A320nee aircraft. Previously, rumors circulated that the airline might purchase an aircraft intended for other airlines. However, these are no longer rumors.
An A320neo with Jet Airways livery was sighted. This discovery also suggests that the airline will consider Airbus narrow-body aircraft for its fleet. It should be emphasized that several of these planes are being shared on social media channels, reinforcing the assumptions.

The most recent sighting implies that Jet Airways has acquired an Airbus A320neo plane intended for S7 Siberian Airlines. It was earlier reported that Jet Airways is in talks with manufacturers and lessors about purchasing up to eight more planes before 2023.
When Jet issued a tweet in July soliciting applications for current and type-rated pilots on the Airbus A320, Boeing 737NG, or 737 MAX, it was one of the first signs that Jet was considering the A320. It was intriguing to observe that Jet had advertised for pilots with experience flying both the 737 and the A320, implying that it would begin its second stint with a mixed fleet.

I stand happily corrected. This A320 in @jetairways livery exists and is currently parked at Tallinn, Estonia

Meanwhile, sources claim that Jet Airways has postponed the start of its flight operations and is currently negotiating with lessors and other organizations to obtain aircraft. At the time, an airline representative stated, “There are no deadline dates determined solely by us, and we have always emphasized that this is a marathon, not a sprint. We said we wanted to start by October 2022, and we are on schedule to do so.”
