authority with the rise of the air traffic.

Some of the Unsystematic risk associated with the jet airways are

Liquidity risk Credit risk

Levered Beta 1.7023Unlevered Beta 0.1435Debt Equity Ratio 2.89 timesExpected Return 11.72%

Jet airways is having a high levered beta than the unlevered beta because the company has huge borrowing and the fixed cost of the company is increasing as result of the increase in the interest payments due to borrowing.

Financial Structure of the Jet Airways

The airline industry is one of the most risky business in today’s modern times. The airline industry is becoming more competitive day by day because of the entrant of the new competitors day by day. The new competitors enter into the market and offer low price to the costumers to attract them. The price war in the market affects the profitability of the organisation. The bankruptcy rate of the airline industry are highest among any industry. Apart from high competition the airline industry have a more of fixed cost than the variable cost. Such a financial structure in accounting is called high operating leverage. The cost of flying a half-filled passenger plane and fully filled passenger plane is same for an airline industry. In a highly business risk market the company sees to have a low financial leverage. This means a low amount of debt.

Jet airways capital structure is consist of debt and equity. The equity capital stands less than the debt. The company relies more on the debt and long term borrowings. This is the reason the company is moving towards the high financial leverage. The increase in the fuel prices and increase in the lease rental of the aircraft have forced the jet airways to increase the short term borrowing and decrease in the profit. Till current date jet airways have a huge liability of

12,000 coroes which is the highest among the private carriers in India. In order to overcome these loss jet increased there prices by 30%.

An optimal financial structure for an airline industry is a low debt financial structure. The best financial structure in the airline industry is of southwest airlines which has the lowest debt. If the company has financial structure which have both equity and debt than the optimal point should where both are equal or equity is more than the debt.

Conclusion

As we look at the aviation industry of India it looks promising as the passenger are growing in the domestic as well as the international route. The Indian aviation industry is having an intense competition in the market because of the new entrants in the aviation industry. Jet airways is the one of the largest airline in India with the highest percentage of the market share but the revenues and the profitability of the company does not boost because the company has not paid any dividend for last 5 years even the stock of the jet airways has been undervalued which has a high level of risk.

The Indian aviation industry has not been unfavourable to the company’s because of the diminishing value of the rupee and increase in the taxes and guidelines set by the government in India. Jet airways seems to be more promising with it new deal with the Etihad airways and promises for a new growth in the future. With new regulations laid by the Indian govt. allowing more and more FDI in the domestic airlines the airlines are hoped to make profits in the coming future in India.
