Shares were boosted after the company said during trading hours on Thursday, 3 January 2013, it is in discussion with Etihad Airways regarding a potential investment by the latter in the former. These discussions have commenced recently pursuant to the liberalized FDI policy which permitted foreign investment in the shares of an Indian airline, Jet Airways said. The discussions are in progress but no terms have been firmed up at present, the company said.
Various structures are being explored by the legal and commercial teams and care is being taken to ensure that all the Indian regulatory requirements are fully complied with, Jet Airways said. By its very nature, there cannot, at this stage, be a firm time line as to the progress of these negotiations considering the complexity of trans-national transactions such as this, and the complexity of the legal requirements of the regulatory structure, Jet Airways said. Since no agreement has been reached with Etihad as yet, no regulatory approvals have been sought at present, the company said.
The company issued this statement while clarifying its position with regard to media reports that Etihad Airways is close to buying stake in Jet Airways.
