IndiGo CEO Defends Bilateral Air Traffic Rights of India After Criticism
The New Indian Express Tadepalligudem
|June 03, 2025
INDIGO CEO Pieter Elbers said on Monday that India's bilateral air service agreements are designed for mutual benefit, adding that "making more noise doesn't make one more right." His remarks came a day after Emirates President Tim Clark criticized India's policy for restricting foreign airlines' access by refusing to expand bilateral rights. He called this more akin to "shooting yourself in the foot."
"It is a bilateral agreement that means the two sides have to agree on what is the benefit for both sides. If one side makes a lot of noise, it doesn't mean the other side say ya we do it," said Elbers on Monday at the sidelines of the annual general meeting of the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
