The billionaires who want to fly Jet Airways are also the world's largest bus manufacturers

• Jet Airways had caught the attention of Srichand and Gopichand Hinduja, who are worth $16 billion.
  
• Jet may not be the biggest bet Hindujas ever made. Their first major acquisition was Ashok Leyland in 1987.
  
• The Hindujas are one of the wealthiest families in the UK

Last week, Jet Airways stock suddenly jumped 6.9%, even as the airline was grounded for seven months. The stock started buzzing after Indian-born Hinduja brothers, who run the London-based group worth $50 billion, are showing interest, yet again.

In May 2019, Hindujas emerged as prominent bidder for the airline but the deal fell apart. Months later, they said that they want to bid only if they were protected from legal liabilities.

It is safe to say that Jet Airways has caught the attention of Srichand and Gopichand Hinduja, who are worth $16 billion.
