Top Indian airline executives under the banner of Federation of Indian Airlines (FIA) on Wednesday met union minister Jitendra Singh and sought their concerns be addressed before finalising the National Civil Aviation Policy (NCAP).
Aditya Ghosh, president, IndiGo; Narayan Hariharan, senior vice president, Jet Airways; Ajab Singh, CMD, SpiceJet; and Jeh Wadia, MD, Go Airlines, sought the government's intervention to avoid discrimination in the NCAP being prepared by the civil aviation ministry.
"Should also be kept on board as stakeholders during the consultations before finalising the new policy," said a memorandum submitted by the executives to the minister.
Raising their voice against foreign airlines taking control of some Indian airlines, the memorandum said: "No other country in the world allows substantial ownership and effective control of its airlines to be taken over by foreign airlines. India has permitted some airlines to operate despite being effectively controlled by their foreign parent."
