On Monday, BusinessLine had reported that in a letter written to Etihad, Naresh Goyal, the promoter and Chairman of Jet Airways, had urged his partner airline for urgent interim funding support of ₹750 crore. He wrote, “...as you are aware, Jet Airways is in a precarious position, with more than 50 aircraft grounded, and increasing arrears of vendors and salaries which makes the need for interim funding all the more imperative.”
