‘Massive conflict of interest’ if airport operators are allowed to run airlines: IndiGo’ Rahul Bhatia
Rahul Bhatia, managing director of IndiGo, warned that allowing airport operators to own airlines would create a "massive conflict of interest" and harm consumer interests. His comments followed reports of discussions within the aviation ministry regarding such ownership, particularly involving the Adani group, which operates eight airports. Bhatia emphasized that this move lacks global precedent and could negatively impact the airline industry over time.
