New Delhi: National carrier Air India has expressed concern over the alliance between Jet Airways and Abu Dhabi's Etihad Airways.
Air India believes the enhanced bilateral rights given by India to Abu Dhabi will result in additional international passenger traffic being diverted to the Jet Airways, Etihad Airways combine.
The Competition Commission of India (CCI), which is currently evaluating the deal, had sought the national carrier Air India's views on the deal.
In April, the aviation ministry more than tripled the number of weekly seats allocated between India and Abu Dhabi to 53,000, which is to be done over three years.
Of this, 24,000 seats have already been allocated for the winter schedule from October 2013 to March 2014.
