Etihad hires turnaround expert Alvarez & Marsal as it weighs Jet Airways bailout | ZAWYA MENA Edition:

Etihad Airways has appointed turnaround specialist Alvarez & Marsal to conduct due diligence on Jet Airways Ltd as it weighs bailing out the cash-strapped Indian carrier, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

Executives from Alvarez & Marsal are camped in Jet Airways’ offices in Mumbai and are taking stock of the airline’s operations and looking into its financial health and records, one of the sources said.

The Abu Dhabi-based carrier plans to raise its stake in Jet Airways from the current 24 percent but it wants the airline’s founder and chairman Naresh Goyal to give up control, sources have told Reuters.
