    Shares in Jet Airways India Ltd surged as much as 19.7 percent on Friday after traders said India's Foreign Investment Promotion Board was likely to approve a planned stake sale to Etihad Airways.

    Jet Airways and Etihad Airways officials were not immediately reachable for comment on the market speculation. A spokesman for India's finance ministry, which oversees FIPB, declined to comment.

    The FIPB, which clears foreign direct investment proposals, is scheduled to consider the Jet-Etihad deal at its meeting on Monday and traders said it may be approved.

    The FIPB last month deferred a decision on Jet's plan to sell a 24 percent stake to Etihad.

    Jet shares were up 14.3 percent at 10.39 p.m.
