Jet Airways has suspended all international flights after several aircraft were seized for non-payment of fuel and other charges:

Jet Airways appears to have suspended all its international flights, raising fresh fears about the survival of India's largest private airline.
The airline, saddled with more than $1bn (£765m) of debt, is seeking a financial lifeline to avoid collapse.
The Indian government said steps were being taken to ensure passenger safety after flights were cancelled.
Carriers in India must maintain a fleet of least 20 aircraft to continue to operate international services.
On Thursday, the airline grounded 10 more planes over unpaid fees to leasing firms and several local media reported the airline is now operating 14 planes.
I saw a Jet 777 parked up at Schiphol on Wednesday evening. Usually it's visible when you arrive in the mornings, parked up on the stands opposite the G and H piers but unusually this time it was parked up in the evening. It was reported as having been seized for non-payment of fuel bills.
