Jet Airways denies rise in Etihad stake as reported in its letter to BSE
Mumbai, Feb 19 (IBNS) Jet Airways, in its reply to a clarification sought by the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), on Friday said that the news that 'Etihad is set to raise its stake in Jet Airways to 49% from 24%' as published in a newspaper is a rumour and no such move is under contemplation.
Earlier on Friday, Jet Airways shares rose as much as 5 per cent, according to media reports.
