SBI boss insists bankruptcy ‘last option’ for Jet Airways
NEW DELHI: Bankruptcy is the “last option” for Jet Airways, State Bank of India’s (SBI) chairman said on Wednesday, adding that it might still be possible to draft in a new investor to keep the airline flying.
“We believe it is in everybody’s interest that Jet Airways continues to fly,” SBI Chairman Rajnish Kumar told reporters after meeting government officials, adding that placing Jet into bankruptcy would mean grounding the airline.
The SBI chief said that a resolution plan is “almost” ready and that it would not involve a bailout for any individual, including the airline’s founder and chairman Naresh Goyal.
