Statement comes after Emirates prez criticised curbs on foreign airlines' air access

- DEEPAK PATEL

A day after Emirates President Tim Clark criticised restrictions on air access for foreign airlines, IndiGo Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Pieter Elbers pushed back, stressing that bilateral air service agreements were meant to be mutually beneficial and making "more noise" did not make one more right.

"First of all, it's called a bilateral agreement, right? That means two sides have to agree on something. If one side makes more and more noise, it doesn't mean you are more right," Elbers said during a press conference at the annual general meeting at the International Air Transport Association (IATA) on Monday.

"It's not that if one side says, 'now we do it'—that's not how it works," he added.
