New Delhi: The Delhi High Court today issued notice to the Centre on a plea by the Federation of Indian Airlines (FIA) which is opposing the go-ahead given to AirAsia to begin its flight operations in India.
Justice Manmohan also issued notice to the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB), but tagged the petition of FIA with Subramanian Swamy's plea, on the same issue and which is before a division bench of the high court.
However, the division bench on February 11 had dismissed two interim pleas of Swamy seeking a stay on grant of further approvals to operationalise the airline deal, saying the Centre cannot be "precluded" from "amending or clarifying" its policy.
In its plea, FIA has sought quashing of the approval granted by the Ministry of Civil Aviation to the airline, which is a $30 million joint venture of Tata Sons and Malaysia-based AirAsia Berhad.
