Even as the government is doing its bit to allay apprehensions of the four bidders short-listed by the lenders to take over the grounded Jet Airways, a fifth — self-proclaimed — bidder, with no airline operations so far, suddenly emerged on Wednesday with no clarity about its eligibility.
An unknown British entrepreneur took to Twitter proclaiming his interest in taking control of Jet Airways and claiming to have submitted a revival proposal to State Bank of India (SBI) on Wednesday. On its part, Jet Airways said that it has advised Unsworth to formally engage with SBI Caps, which is running the bidding process, according to a filing.
