Lion introduced that the extension would start working in July 2023. However the authorities granted J-Web an extension of 4 months as a result of the venture was not prepared on time. The beginning of the warfare induced additional issues with CAF’s workforce leaving the nation, making November 2023 not viable, and now the opening of the venture has been put again till the second half of 2024..
