A spokesperson for Jet refused to comment.
A consortium led by State Bank of India will soon take over the management of the airline under a debt-recast plan.
The once-second largest airline has drastically curtailed its operations since last month following severe cash crunch and is operating only 26 out of 124 planes in its fleet.
Under the new management structure banks will own 50.1 percent in Jet Airways by infusing an emergency fund of Rs 1,500 crore, which will then be converted into equity for a notional value of Re 1 ashare.
The airline, however, has yet received the much-needed fund due to some procedural glitches, according to the bankers.
