New Delhi: The Competition Commission today said it will take a decision on whether to probe alleged cartelisation among airliners in fixing air fares, after getting more information on the issue.
Recently, Captain Gopinath, the pioneer of low-cost airlines in the country, had talked about cartelisation in air fares.
The Competition Commission of India ( CCI) Chairman Ashok Chawla today said the regulator has taken note of a statement at a public platform by Captain Gopinath that there is cartelisation amongst the companies (airliners).
"So, we have asked him to share whatever information he has... He has asked for a meeting (with me). We are awaiting further inputs from him before we take another look at this matter," Chawla said here.
He was speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a seminar organised by PHD Chamber.
Chawla said the Commission had looked into this issue in the past.
