India's Jet Airways is in talks with planemakers Boeing Co and Airbus SE (AIR.PA) for an order worth $12 billion, BloombergQuint reported on Thursday, citing Bloomberg News.
The airline's new owners, UAE-based businessman Murari Lal Jalan and UK investment firm Kalrock Capital, told Bloomberg News that Jet could buy at least 100 narrowbody aircraft, BloombergQuint said on Twitter.
The group is set to invest about $200 million through equity and debt in Jet over the next six months, BloombergQuint said.
Jet, Boeing and Airbus did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Reuters.
The Jalan-Kalrock consortium's resolution plan for Jet was approved by India's bankruptcy court in June, with the airline poised for takeoff by the first quarter of 2022 as it gears up to resume domestic operations. read more
The debt-laden airline, once India's biggest private carrier, stopped flying in April 2019 after running out of cash, leaving thousands without jobs.
