New Delhi: The increasing interest of international airlines like Etihad, AirAsia and Singapore Airlines into the Indian passenger carriers signals renewed confidence in the sector, says Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh.
"All airlines-Etihad, AirAsia, Singapore Airlines-are the biggest and most professional companies in the aviation business. If they are interested in India, this shows a renewed confidence in the sector," Singh told IANS in an interview.
"In the long run, there is tremendous potential in the sector to grow."
He said the cabinet approval for the Jet-Etihad deal last Thursday was a positive move, which will help the industry, bogged down by heavy fuel and interest costs.
"The alliance between Jet-Etihad is positive for the industry. It will ultimately benefit the passengers and boost the sector further."
