New Delhi, April 17: Crisis-hit Jet Airways is likely to be grounded, at least for now, as the carrier's desperate bid to inject Rs 400 crore of emergency funds has been turned down by all state-run and private lenders. The last flight to be operated by the cash-crunched airlines will be from Amritsar to Mumbai. Jet Airways Suspends All Flights For Tonight, Fails to Get Rs 400 Crore Emergency Loan.

The fate of nearly 16,500 Jet employees hangs in balance, many of whom have not been paid salaries for the past few months.

The National Aviators Guild -- the largest union of Jet workforce -- had earlier threatened to launch a strike from April 15. However, after being informed by the management that it would disburse the pending salaries after receiving the "promised" loan of Rs 1,500 crore from SBI, the union decided to defer their protest.

Notably, the Jet has cancelled all international flights both to east and the west-end. The airlines' fleet has been brought down to 5 -- down from 191 in its heydays.
