Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA)Approves Jet-Etihad Deal Thursday Oct 3,2013



The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) on Thursday gave the go-ahead to the Rs 2,058 crore stake sale deal between Jet Airways and Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways


The deal, announced in April this year, should result in wider international connectivity for Indian flyers, especially those flying from tier-II cities

The deal, entailing a 24 per cent stake sale by Jet to Etihad, was cleared by the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) in July 2013

The airline will now have to apply to the civil aviation ministry and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation for approvals. An approval from the Competition Commission of India, which is reviewing the deal, is also awaited.
