Bloomberg: Jet Airways is running out of money, forcing it to weigh re-starting bailout talks with Tata Group, the nation’s biggest conglomerate, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
While its founder and chairman Naresh Goyal has been discussing a deal with Etihad Airways, talks with the foreign partner stalled over the latter’s demand that Goyal step aside from his management role, the people said, asking not to be identified as the discussions are private. With Jet Airways set to run out of cash in about a month, the carrier is now looking to restart talks with the Tata Group, they said.
Tata said in November that it held “preliminary” talks with Jet Airways though no proposal was made. Acquiring Jet Airways’s business could give the conglomerate’s fledgling aviation unit a shot at dominating the fastest growing major air-travel market, where fares as low as 2 cents have kept the industry unprofitable for a decade.
A Jet Airways representative said the company doesn’t comment on speculation, while Tata Sons didn’t respond to an email seeking comment.
