New Delhi: Jet Airways (India) Ltd said Wednesday it continues to be in active discussions with various investors, amid reports that its founder Naresh Goyal is in talks with Etihad for financial support. The response came after the BSE sought a clarification on the news report “Naresh Goyal and Etihad discussing merger of Jet Privilege and Jet Airways. Naresh Goyal in Abu Dhabi in talks with Etihad for financial support".
Terming such reports as “speculative in nature", the airline said it is committed to make appropriate disclosures in accordance with applicable regulations to avoid any speculative activities.
