Jet suspended all its flights on April 17 as it ran out of cash to run operations and failed to raise bank loans. It has close to 70 planes on ground &#8212; of which 50 have been deregistered due to non-payment of rentals to plane leasing companies \u00e2\u20ac\u201d and more than 18,000 employees left in the lurch.<br \/>\nMore than 400 of its unused flight slots are being allocated to other airlines which are also leasing its deregistered planes and hiring its employees. Spice-Jet, for instance, is leasing 40 Boeing 737 planes originally flown by Jet. It has hired close to 1,000 of the airline\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s employees, SpiceJet chairman Ajay Singh was cited as saying in a recent media report.
