Etihad, Hinduja Group back at the deal table for grounded Jet Airways

Etihad had submitted a conditional offer for a minority stake in the airline earlier under the lenders-led bid process in May

The names of Etihad Airways and Hinduja Group have resurfaced as contenders for submitting a joint expression of interest (EoI) to revive Jet Airways, which is facing insolvency proceedings. Even before Jet had landed up at the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Etihad and Hindujas were in the fray to invest in the grounded airline but subsequently they opted out. 

A source in the know said the two sides were again holding discussions and examining funding requirements to pay off creditors and kick-start the airline, which shut operations on April 17.
