Federation takes AirAsia India’s flying licence to Court

Kuala Lumpur:  The High Court in New Delhi, comprising Chief Justice G. Rohini and Justice Pradeep Nandrajog, has asked three Indian Government bodies to respond on a complaint against AirAsia India, according to the Business Standard.
They have to file their replies on the allegation by the Federation of Indian Airlines (FIA) that the government granted the airline a flying licence in India although it did not disclose its brand equity agreement.
Briefly, the Civil Aviation Ministry, Directorate General of Civil Aviation and the Foreign Investment Promotion Board have to explain why effective control of the airline, under the brand equity agreement, remains with the foreign party.
The licensing rules, pointed out the FIA in its application, stipulated the Indian party should have effective control of AirAsia India.
Bharatiya Janata Party leader, Subramaniam Swamy, meanwhile wants the Court to bring criminal contempt proceedings against company officials involved in applying for its flying licence. He cited the brand equity agreement being left out from the application.
