In a bid to resolve various issues between Jet Airways, Etihad Airways and lenders, State Bank of India has called for an urgent meeting on Wednesday.
A source said Naresh Goyal, Chairman and promoter of Jet Airways, along with representatives of Etihad, has flown down to India for the meeting. Another source said the meeting will be held at SBI’s corporate office here. Etihad CEO Tony Douglas is also likely to attend it, said reports.
SBI is the lead lender of a consortium that has extended loans to Jet Airways.
“Jet Airways has been having meetings regularly with SBI, but this one is fairly important given that Goyal, along with representatives from Etihad and lenders, are all going to be present to discuss the issues face-to-face,” said a company source.
