DELHI— Jet Airways (9W), the once-prominent Indian carrier undergoing liquidation under a court-supervised insolvency process, has announced the e-auction of three additional aircraft as efforts continue to recover value from the airline’s remaining assets.
The auction includes two Boeing 737-800 aircraft and one Boeing 737-900 aircraft currently parked at Delhi (DEL), Hyderabad (HYD), and Mumbai (BOM).
According to the public notice issued by the liquidator, the sale will be conducted through the BAANKNET platform on July 18, 2026.
Jet Airways Boeing Aircraft Auction Set for July 18
The latest sale forms part of the broader asset disposal process underway following the collapse of Jet Airways in 2019. The airline has been in liquidation after a prolonged insolvency battle that ultimately concluded with a Supreme Court-directed resolution process.
The three aircraft represent some of the final narrowbody assets remaining under the airline’s ownership. Industry observers view the auction as another significant step toward maximizing recoveries for creditors affected by the airline’s downfall.
The aircraft are located across three major Indian aviation hubs, allowing prospective buyers to inspect the assets before the scheduled bidding process.
Boeing 737-family aircraft continue to attract interest from operators, leasing companies, and aviation investors due to their widespread use across global markets.

Asset Recovery Efforts Gain Momentum
The upcoming auction follows the successful sale of five Boeing 777-300ER aircraft earlier in the liquidation process. Those widebody aircraft were acquired by Malta-based Ace Aviation in a transaction valued at approximately $107 million.
When Jet Airways ceased operations, the carrier held 11 aircraft assets on its books. The disposal of the Boeing 777 fleet and the newly announced Boeing 737 auction significantly reduce the number of remaining aircraft available for sale.
Following the July auction, only three Airbus A330 aircraft are expected to remain among the airline’s major aviation assets. These aircraft are likely to attract attention from buyers seeking long-haul fleet additions or spare-part opportunities.
The liquidation team has continued to monetize available assets while navigating one of India’s most closely watched airline insolvency cases.
Creditor Claims Remain Financial Burden
Despite ongoing asset sales, Jet Airways continues to face substantial financial obligations. The airline is estimated to owe financial creditors approximately ₹7,807 crore.
Total admitted claims, including dues owed to employees, vendors, operational partners, and other creditors, stand at roughly ₹15,723 crore, The Hindu reported.
Recoveries generated through aircraft auctions and other asset disposals will contribute toward meeting these outstanding obligations.
The liquidation process has highlighted the financial challenges associated with airline failures, particularly in a capital-intensive industry where aircraft, infrastructure, and employee-related costs create significant liabilities.
As the July auction approaches, stakeholders will closely monitor bidding activity and sale values. The outcome could provide further insight into the remaining recovery potential from Jet Airways’ aviation assets and the progress of one of India’s largest airline liquidation proceedings.
