Shares of Jet Airways rose as much as 4.7% on Monday to a near two-year high, and were headed for a fifth straight session of gains, on growing expectations that Abu Dhabi's Etihad Airways will buy a stake in the carrier.

Jet was up 4.3% as of 0557 GMT, after earlier hitting its highest since January 2011. Shares have surged 18% over the prior four sessions.
