Only 5 active aircraft...

Their debts have become that high (+1,2 Billion USD), that even the most optimistic businessplan can't rescue them. Thus: game over.

Indeed, but how could they let this airline fly? That's unbelievable!

It is 20:53UTC, and Jet Airways still flying with 5 aircraft, a few days ago I thought they were going to go bust within 14 days... 5 aircraft... Primera, Cobalt, Monarch, flybmi shut down all at once... Jet Airways can't get out of this financial trouble, that's for sure, but the most surprising is safety first...

An Indian friend told me there are indeed elections in India at the moment...

Hi guys,

I don't have a background in finance or economics but in the case of Jet Airways I wonder, from a business strategy point of view, about the logic behind the ongoing bidding they launched last week.

My limited understanding being that Jet does not have so many assets (as far as I know at least): a few aircrafts I guess, some real estate, Jets frequent flyer database (which is usually valuable), their customer base if that’s something still valuable, perhaps slots at Mumbai airport (but I don't know whether you can "sell" these like for London HR).
Liabilities on the other hand seem huge to me: staff salaries and other due rights and taxes, refunds to be processed for their customers requesting a refund, consequent and overdue amounts unpaid to suppliers, lenders, etc, …

Hence for those among you versed into economy or business admin, who, except some of the current shareholders (whom might want to give it another chance in order to recuperate some of their investments), has a sound financial interest in investing in Jet Airways in such a situation ?

I read in the NY times that their debt would be around 1billion+ USD, so for any interested investor does it not seem less expensive to start of from scratch than to invest in such a full-of-debts company ?
