Private airline Jet Airways has secured shareholders' approval to raise up to $400 million at the company's extra ordinary general meeting held today.
"Shareholders at the extra ordinary general meeting of the company held on September 24, 2009 have passed the requisite resolution regarding the issuance of additional capital up to $400 million," Jet said in a filing to the Bombay Stock Exchange.
