IndiGo, India’s biggest airline, joined an industry group in opposing AirAsia Bhd.â??s (AIRA) application for local operations, threatening to delay plans of the region’s largest discount carrier to start flights by March.
IndiGo has written to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, supporting some of the objections raised by the Federation of Indian Airlines against AirAsia, the Indian airline said in a statement, without giving details.
The letter was in response to a request for public feedback sought by the aviation regulator on AirAsia’s application. AirAsia had wanted to start services by the end of last year, in a move that would have increased competition for low-cost carriers, including IndiGo and SpiceJet Ltd., that control about 60 percent of the domestic market.
