Jet Airways falls on worries Etihad stake sale may be delayed

MUMBAI (Reuters) - Shares of Jet Airways dropped as much as 5.8 percent on Thursday after Reuters reported a stake sale to Abu Dhabi's Etihad Airways could be delayed until at least August, two dealers said.

The delay could come as Etihad is seeking assurances following setbacks for several Gulf investors in India, two sources familiar with the talks told Reuters.

Jet shares were down 3.2 percent as of 9:36 a.m.
