Jet Airways
This combination image shows two file pictures, one taken on March 3, 2012, showing an Indian flight technician cleaning the front windows of a Jet Airways Boeing aircraft during The India Aviation 2010 show at Begumpet Airport in Hyderabad, and one taken on November 3, 2003, showing Emirati officials posing in front of the new carrier 'Etihad' or 'Unity' which was on show in Abu Dhabi in the UAE. Shares of India's Jet Airways surged almost 20 percent on February 27, 2013, after Abu Dhabi-based Etihad paid USD 70 million to the Indian carrier for London landing slots. The move by Ethihad fuelled investor hopes that the Gulf carrier could be close to a long-anticipated deal to purchase a stake in the Indian airline.
