India has refused to grant New Delhi landing rights for Lufthansa’s Airbus A380, a German daily said on Friday.
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper reported in a pre-release of its Saturday edition that the Indian government’s decision apparently was made because the Star Alliance, of which Lufthansa is a member, had rejected Air India’s bid to become a Star Alliance member.
It said Star Alliance last month decided to turn down the request of state-owned Air India to become a member because of the latter’s weak financial situation.
The report said the denial of landing rights would be a blow to Lufthansa’s ambition to expand its flight offers to India.
