Etihad Airways, which owns 24% of debt-laden company Jet Airways, plans to increase its stake in the Indian airline, a source close to the Abu Dhabi carrier said Monday. Shares in India’s Jet Airways jumped over 18% on Monday after CNBC TV18 reported earlier Monday that founder and chairman Naresh Goyal was likely to step down from the board and give up majority control. The report also said that Etihad may infuse more capital into Jet. The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Goyal was on his way out but did not clarify if that would mean he is stepping down as chairman or from the board. Etihad putting more money into the Indian carrier is conditional on Goyal diluting his stake, a source said last month. Even so, Etihad’s stake will be capped at 49% due to foreign ownership rules in Indian airlines and if it goes past the 25% ownership threshold, it would need to adhere to capital markets regulations and make an open offer to shareholders to buy a further 26% stake.<br/>
