SpiceJet is in active discussions with Singapore-based budget carrier Tigerair for a possible stake sale even as they are set to sign a code share agreement soon, sources said.
According to sources, SpiceJet promoter and media baron Kalanithi Maran may offload up to 24 per cent to Tigerair as the airline faces fall in profits and attempts to retire debt, the sources familiar with the development said.
“SpiceJet and Tigerair have already held two rounds of talks for a possible equity deal as promoter Maran is looking for the FDI route for further funds infusion,” sources said.
