MUMBAI: After declaring bankruptcy, creditors to Jet Airways have approved a resolution plan which will give India’s oldest private carrier a new lease of life, the airline said in a regulatory filing on Saturday.
The resolution plan submitted by a consortium of London-based Kalrock Capital and UAE-based businessmen Murari Lal Jalan was approved on Saturday, the filing said, while not revealing other details of the deal.

Since then the airline and its lenders had been looking for suitors.
