New Delhi: The comfort level of lenders with Air India is "complete and total," Pratip Chaudhuri, chairman of State Bank of India, the leader of the consortium of lenders to the state-run carrier said on Thursday.
The lenders will meet in Mumbai later in the day to discuss Air India's $4 billion debt restructuring and all options are open, he told reporters.
Indian airlines are forecast to lose up to $3 billion in the fiscal year that ends in March 2012. State-owned Air India, operating on government life support, is expected to account for more than half of that, the Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation (CAPA) has said.
