IndiGo promoter Rahul Bhatia has expressed concerns over reports suggesting that the government may review the existing policy that restricts private airport operators from owning scheduled airlines. According to him, allowing airport operators to run airlines could create a significant conflict of interest, as they may gain influence over critical areas such as airport slot allocation, terminal access and other infrastructure, potentially affecting fair competition in the aviation sector. Under the current regulations, private airport operators are limited to holding a maximum of 10% stake in an airline. The discussion comes as reports indicate that the Adani Group has sought a review of this policy. While easing the rules could encourage greater competition in India's aviation market, concerns remain about maintaining a level playing field for all airlines. Currently, IndiGo holds around 66% of the domestic market, making it the largest airline in the country, followed by the Air India Group. As of now, the government has not officially confirmed any changes to the existing policy, and the industry continues to closely monitor further developments. $INDIGO Disclaimer: This post is for informational purposes only and not a recommendation to buy or sell any securities.
