Mumbai: Air travellers in India may have to continue their wait for AirAsia to take wings in the country as the Malaysian low-cost carrier's efforts to start its service during this summer have not been successful so far.
AirAsia, which announced its entry into the Indian market in February 2013, has not received the air operator's permit despite the expiry of two deadlines.
The airline, which was initially looking at 2013-end for starting their operations in the country, had subsequently postponed it to February-March.
Expressing his disappointment, Tony Fernandes, chief executive of Air Asia in an interview to a business new channel on Monday said the entire industry is trying to block the entry of AirAsia India, agency reports said. "In any country that we have gone, we have never experienced an industry that has ganged up against us," Fernandes said in the interview.
