Etihad seeks to ramp up stake in India's Jet Airways to 49%

Etihad Airways  has held talks with Jet Airways  over the proposed acquisition of a further 25% stake in the Indian carrier.

Sources who spoke to India's Financial Express indicate the two sides have now reached a tentative deal after agreeing on a valuation of the shareholding.

Jet, whose total debt stands at INR119.2 billion (USD1.734 billion), reportedly plans to raise USD300-400 million through the issuance of convertible bonds to which Etihad would subscribe. Once the conversion takes place, Etihad’s stake will increase to 49%.
