Akasa Air Flag pays attention to bilateral flight rights; says “there is no level of competitive environment”

New Delhi, January 30 (PTI) Akasa Air’s concerns about the right to distribute bilateral operations to the UAE, saying that “there is no” horizontal competitive environment “, which denies that the airline is a fair opportunity to compete with India and Blue.

“Today, Indigo and Air India Group have a strong business in the UAE. They fly between India and Abu Dhabi, Duba, Shatah and Ras Al Khaimah multiple times.

“You agree, this reflects that there is no fair competition environment, and brings major competitive challenges to new entrants such as Akasa Air,” Akasa Air’s governance and strategic acquisition head Priya Mehra’s letter to civil air Speaking. Secretary Vumlunman Valnam earlier this month.

Airlines, which are less than three years, also said that this situation has denied that this is a fair opportunity and can compete with airlines that have run a large number of flights between the two countries.

Akasa Air currently has 27 aircraft teams and has an ambitious expansion plan.

In the letter, Mehra mentioned that the airline provided the airline to Dubai, Sarage and Abu Dhabi for one year in different periods.

Bilateral flight rights are negotiated between the two countries, and the traffic on the Gulf route has increased, and the flying right of Gulf Airlines has increased, but India is not keen to increase its rights.

According to this letter, when all fair minds are required to obtain other rights on the Abu Dhabi route in the UAE, the airline has surrendered the traffic rights of six countries, Hong Kong, Kenya, Egypt, Ethiopia, Bangladesh, Bangladesh, They can provide them or future allocation immediately with Nepal.

However, the airline said that the ministry had shifted the seat from the UAE-Abu Dhabi swimming pool to other UAE in the UAE.

Mehra pointed out that this move caused some concerns. He said in the letter: “We have not seen the rules that allow such changes, and we have not seen any precedents we have done in the past.”

She said: “… If such a transfer is allowed under bilateral arrangement, we ask why we do not distribute the right to Shaya through the same pool transfer.”

In this context, AKASA Air requires the ministry to allocate the traffic rights for Abuzab to allocate in this year’s winter schedule or next year’s summer schedule.

When contacting it, Priya Mehra said in a statement that the Ministry of Civil Aviation has always been easy to consider industry issues and continue to work under their guidance and leadership.

The statement said: “In AKASA, we have always believed and emphasized that we are in the stage of domestic and international growth, just because we have obtained support and motivation from the Ministry of Civil Aviation and other regulators.”
