There’s now another development in the Jet Airways saga as a private charter company has expressed interest in acquiring the collapsed airline. With Synergy Group’s bid losing momentum over slot-allocation clarity, other suitors were invited to express their interest. Hyderabad-based Turbo Aviation Private Limited is now the latest to do so according to various sources. This group is also launching a low-cost carrier at the same time.
We reported earlier this month that the bankruptcy court handling Jet Airways had directed creditors to allow fresh Expressions of Interest (EOI) during the Synergy Group’s delay. This was brought into the spotlight as two new potential investors emerged – who went unnamed at the time.
“The CoC (committee of creditors) is considering to open two new EoIs for Jet Airways. The timeline is very crucial for the revival of the company and hence we are seeking more time from the tribunal,” -Ashish Chhawchharia, resolution professional for Jet Airways via Economic Times
According to The Hindu Business Line, Turbo Aviation Private Ltd has emerged as one of those interested parties. Earlier this week, Turbo Aviation had announced its plans to launch a new low-cost airline, named ‘TruStar’, by mid-2020. This was made possible as it recently firmed up an investment of about £100 million from a group based in the UK.
“We had signed an agreement with a large UK business group to dilute majority stake in Turbo Aviation in its favour. We will announce the name of our partner and other details once the security clearances are in place,” -V Umesh, Founder of Turbo Aviation via Business Standard
