[New Delhi] Qatar Airways ,Rejecting Spicejet, Selects Indigo Airlines
Qatar airwys says that they are in talk with Indigo and not with Spicejet
Gulf carrier Qatar Airways said it is in talks with IndiGo, the largest Indian airline by market share and set to rest speculations that it is looking for a partnership with SpiceJet.
Qatar Airways’ official confirmation that it was in discussions with IndiGo comes ahead of the no-frills carrier gearing up for an initial share sale worth nearly Rs 2,500 crore.
Several times in the past also, the Doha-based airline has evinced interest in picking up stake in IndiGo.
“Qatar Airways confirms that the only airline it is talking to is the Indian carrier IndiGo,”
IndiGo has not aired any comment on this matter.
There have been media reports that the Doha-based carrier is in talks to pick up stake in SpiceJet.
Further, the Doha-based airline said this was not the first time that such claims have been made. “Similar news was disseminated in January 2013, and this appears to be a tactic to increase market and share value,”
