Jet Airways had earlier attracted 12 expression of interests (EoIs) from suitors, which was further narrowed down to two prospective applicants. The deadline for completion of Jet Airways insolvency resolution process was earlier extended beyond August 21 due to Covid-19. There is no fresh deadline announced by RP yet, due to Covid-19 uncertainties.
The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) had earlier admitted Jet Airways for insolvency proceedings on June 20, 2019.
