The decision of Jet Airways’ lenders to extend the deadline for submission of expression of interest (EoI) did not pay any dividend as the grounded airline failed to attract any new bidder till August 31, said a source familiar with the development.
The lenders had extended the date of submission of EoI till August 31 with the hope of getting more EoIs for the airline. Now, Jet’s resolution professional (RP), Ashish Chhawchharia, will evaluate the three EoIs he has received so far and furnish the list of eligible investors.
It is highly unlikely that the lenders and the RP will extend the deadline again, sources said.
