Agra: A business delegation from UAE’s Etihad Airways will meet Commerce and Industry Minister Anand Sharma this week amidst talks of a possible deal with Jet Airways.
“A delegation from Etihad is coming to meet me on January 31,” Sharma told mediapersons on the sidelines of the CII Summit in Agra on Monday.
While the Minister did not elaborate on the agenda for the meeting, DIPP officials said that the changes in India’s FDI policy in aviation and Etihad’s prospects in India would be discussed.
Abu Dhabi’s Etihad Airways is expected to announce a deal to buy a 24 per cent stake in Jet Airways soon. In fact, shares of Jet Airways traded higher on Monday on hopes of an early deal.
