Jet Airways came into discussions after shutting down. Jet Airways is positively set to get a new owner one-and-a-half years after it ceased operations due to a cash crunch. After over a day of deliberation, the Committee of Creditors has announced the consortium led by Karock Capital and UAE-based entrepreneur Murari Lal Jalan as the winning bidders for the beleaguered airline. The resolution professional of the airline will submit the winning bid to the National Company Law Tribunal, which will then have to give its approval before the consortium is declared as new owners of the airline.
