Jet Airways and Etihad Airways are working together on a resolution plan to make the airline robust and viable, the two airlines said in a joint statement on Monday.
The communication comes in the backdrop of lessor actions to ground planes and threats from a section of pilots to stop flying over salary delays.
“Jet Airways, its principal shareholders, including Etihad Airways, and key financial stakeholders are working towards the finalisation and subsequent implementation of the bank-led provisional resolution plan (BLPRP) to ensure the carrier emerges as a financially strong and resilient airline. The approval of the BLPRP by the board of directors of Jet Airways last week was an important step in this direction,” Jet Airways Chairman Naresh Goyal and Etihad’s Chief Executive Officer Tony Douglas said in a joint statement.
