Jet Airways scrip gains for 4th day; up over 1%

PTI Updated - March 13, 2013 at 06:51 PM.

Rising for the fourth day today, shares of Jet Airways settled with over 1 per cent gain amid reports that the carrier plans to extend its code share agreement with the Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways to the Mumbai-Brussels-Newark route.

Separately, Jet Airways is in the process of finalising a stake sale deal with Etihad Airways.

After surging over 4 per cent in intra-day trade, shares of the Naresh Goyal-owned carrier pared some of the gains and ended at Rs 575.95, up 1.19 per cent on the BSE, in an otherwise weak stock market.

At NSE, the scrip was up 1.31 per cent at Rs 577.30.

Code-sharing allows an airline to book passengers on its partner carriers and provide seamless transport to multiple destinations where it has no presence.

Jet and Etihad have a code-sharing agreement since 2008.

Late last year, it expanded the tie-up further with a similar arrangement for the Abu Dhabi-Paris route.

The BSE 30-stock index, Sensex, ended at 19,362.55, down 202.37 points.
