Lenders had asked the bidders to submit their bids last month and among qualified parties, only Etihad Airways submitted a conditional investment offer. The airline had laid the condition that any investor willing to invest more than 5 per cent in Jet should have its approval.
After which, lenders have continued to seek investors to revive the airline and have been meeting those making unsolicited bids.
