Abu Dhabi's Etihad says working towards Jet deal deadline | Reuters:

"
Etihad Airways is working towards meeting a July 31 deadline to win regulatory approvals on its planned $379 million purchase of a stake in India's Jet Airways (JET.NS), the Abu Dhabi-based carrier said on Wednesday.

Etihad, which is on an acquisition drive, agreed in April to buy a 24 percent stake in Jet in a deal that would provide India's largest carrier with a deep-pocketed global partner as well as cash to help pay off debts.

But political concerns and scrutiny by Indian market regulators have delayed the deal and it risks missing a so-called "long-stop" date of July 31, before which regulatory approvals had to be secured."
