New Delhi: The government Friday said that the downgrading of Indian aviation sector by US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will not affect Air India's entry into the global interline marketing arrangement Star Alliance.
Minister of State for Civil Aviation K. C. Venugopal said Star Alliance has confirmed that the FAA safety assessment is a matter for the respective aviation authorities and the downgrade has no direct impact on the planned integration of Air India.
Star Alliance decided to take Air India in its fold in December 2013.
"The integration involves aligning various processes and standards to the Star Alliance joining requirements," Venugopal informed the Lok Sabha, lower house of parliament.
