Jet Airways today said it would take a day or two before its domestic flight operations return to normalcy.

"We will be operating all international flights today. Booking is pan out far ahead for international operation. For domestic services, to fly at an acceptable seat factor, we will take a day or two," Jet Airways' Chief Commercial Officer Sudheer Raghavan told reporters here.

Raghavan said the airlines was watching the level of pick-up for services for domestic flights.

"By Monday or Tuesday, there is a pick-up in the booking," he said.

The five-day-old stir by Jet Airways' pilots ended last night as the airline management and the agitators reached a settlement under which the four sacked pilots would be reinstated.

On the losses suffered by the air carrier due to the five-day-long agitation by its pilots' guild, Raghavan said, "Our focus is on customers. The focus is to move upwards."

Airlines' Executive Director Saroj Dutta said prior to disruption in services, the airlines revenue used to be around $8 million a day.

"We saved some on variable costs in our operating costs such as fuel, landing charges, etc. So there were mutual cost saved," he said.
