The aviation company says it received communication from the office of Registrar of Companies (RoC) seeking comments and explanations in response to a complaint received by their office.

The airline added it is taking steps to submit its responses and is unable to comment on any media reports on the subject.

The company said at the time it had not received any communication from the ministry.

Jet Airways, part-owned by Etihad Airways, posted its second consecutive quarterly loss on Monday and unveiled a cost cutting strategy. Up to last close, stock had fallen 65.5 percent this year.
