CEO Elbers says New Delhi is selective about allocation

Image of India not giving bilateral flying rights wrong: IndiGo

‘The image being portrayed by some airlines that India is not granting more bilateral flying rights to anyone is “wrong”, and the country has simply been selective in allocating them based on demand and two-way utilisation, IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers said on Wednesday.

His comments come months after Emirates President Tim Clark criticised India’s restrictive stance on granting additional bilateral rights to Dubai, saying that restricting air access to foreign carriers is akin to “shooting yourself in the foot” since aviation is a “wealth multiplier” for the economy.

India has so far been reluctant to expand bilateral flying rights for the UAE and Qatar, as West Asian hubs like Dubai and Doha primarily serve as transit points for Indian passengers traveling onward to North America and Europe. At the same time, Indian carriers are steadily inducting wide-body aircraft and ramping up nonstop operations to long-haul destinations.
