IndiGo CEO defends India's stand on bilateral air traffic rights; says just because some countries are making noise doesn't mean they are right
IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers on Monday defended India's apparent policy of not expanding bilateral air services agreements with countries that house global hub airports and account for a significant chunk of international medium- and long-haul passenger traffic to and from India. He also said that just because some countries are making noise about their grouse with India's stand doesn't meant that they are right. Elebers comments come a day after Dubai-based airline Emirates's President Tim Clarke again pitched for open access to the Indian market, reportedly saying that restrictive bilateral flying rights did not make sense for India if it has aspirations to become a global aviation player. The India-Dubai bilateral air services agreement has not been revised in over a decade. 'It's called the bilateral agreement, right? That means two sides have to agree on something, and if one side makes more and more noise, it doesn't mean that you're more and more right. It's a bilateral agreement, and that means that the two sides have to agree on what's the benefit for both sides,' Elbers said in response to a question. According to Elbers, viewing India's approach as protectionist would not be correct as historically, foreign carriers were utilising their flying rights to India while Indian airlines were not able to do so at the same level, which in effect led to imbalances. He also noted that India has over the recent years expanded air services agreements with some countries, which reflects that the country is open to revising pacts in cases where both sides have something to gain. 'Historically, a lot of countries had flying rights to India, and were using these while Indian operators were not using these flying rights. I think that should be taken into consideration as well…there were massive number of flights into India and no operations by Indian operators. So, for a government to look at that and to say, first, let's use the existing pool of traffic rights, and when the existing pool is exhausted, go to new traffic rights, I think it's a completely fair and balanced approach,' Elbers said at a briefing during the ongoing annual general meeting of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) in Delhi. The Indian government and major Indian carriers like Air India and IndiGo have ambitions to have more direct international connectivity from India and to turn the country into an international aviation hub. Long-haul travel on board Indian carriers, however, continues to remain a challenge as a significant number of passengers flying to far off destinations from India take connecting flights through major global hubs outside the country, Dubai and Doha for instance. This is part of the reason why New Delhi has been playing hardball with the Gulf countries, particularly the United Arab Emirates, on the issue of bilateral air traffic rights and has not been heeding their calls for expansion of traffic rights. The UAE and Dubai-based carrier Emirates have been urging India to increase seats under the India-Dubai bilateral air services agreement beyond the limit of around 66,000 seats per week per direction, the Indian government appears to be unwilling to lend an ear. The reason is clear. India wants its carriers to ramp up wide-body operations, instead of facilitating foreign airlines, particularly Gulf-based carriers with deep pockets, in ferrying passengers to Europe and beyond via their large hubs. Put simply, increasing seats under bilateral pacts does not sit well with India's grand aviation ambitions. Weighing in on the issue, IATA Director General Willie Walsh said that as they grow, Indian airlines deserve to get access to markets globally, and the current issues related to flying rights are 'just an issue of timing'. 'Flying rights are an issue right across the world. It's not unique to India…When we look at two, maybe three years ago, there were less than 50 wide-body aircraft based in India…That's now being corrected with the addition of new wide body aircraft to both the IndiGo fleet and the Air India fleet. And as we see the expansion of the carriers in India accessing new markets, you will have to see a corresponding change to the approach for access, because Indian carriers will want access to markets right across the world, and deserve to get access to markets right across the world. So, I think this is just an issue of timing,' Walsh said. Sukalp Sharma is a Senior Assistant Editor with The Indian Express and writes on a host of subjects and sectors, notably energy and aviation.

Singapore remains India's top FDI source for 7th consecutive year
NEW DELHI: Singapore continued to be India's top source of foreign direct investment (FDI) for the seventh year in a row, with inflows touching $15 billion in 2024-25. Overall, overseas equity inflows rose by 13% to $50 billion during the last fiscal year. The total FDI, that included equity inflows, reinvested earnings and other capital, reached $81.04 billion during the last financial year. This marks a 14% rise from the previous year and is the highest FDI level in the last three years. Singapore's FDI contribution increased to $14.94 billion in 2024-25 from $11.77 billion in 2023-24, as per official government data. Singapore represented approximately 19 per cent of total inflows in 2024-25. Singapore has held the top position for FDI into India since 2018-19. Previously, in 2017-18, Mauritius was the leading source of such investments. The previous fiscal year saw Mauritius contributing $8.34 billion in foreign inflows. For 2024-25, other significant contributors included the US ($5.45 billion), the Netherlands ($4.62 billion), the UAE ($3.12 billion), Japan ($2.47 billion), Cyprus ($1.2 billion), the UK ($795 million), Germany ($469 million), and Cayman Islands ($371 million). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Soluções confiáveis para centros de dados IA Siemens Energy Read More Undo Specialists note that Singapore's status as an international financial centre, its strong bilateral relations with India, and its function as an access point for international private equity and venture capital contribute to its significant investment position. "Despite turmoil in the capital markets and uncertainties around trade, India has managed to attract huge investments, which are stable and long-term," Rumki Majumdar, Economist, Deloitte India told PTI. "Given that Asia is the second largest region to receive foreign capital inflows, a large part of the funds come from Singapore. There are quite a few reasons for that. One, being a low-tax jurisdiction and with a robust legal framework, Singapore is considered the strategic financial gateway to Asia," she said. The Double Tax Avoidance Agreement between both countries enables Singapore-based organisations to invest in India whilst reducing their total tax burden on Indian-earned income, Majumdar noted. These international investments are essential for India's infrastructure development, including ports, airports and highways, to stimulate growth. Additionally, FDI supports the improvement of the country's balance of payments and strengthens the rupee against other international currencies, particularly the US dollar.

AAI approves incentive scheme to promote international flight connectivity at Port Blair Airport
Port Blair, Jun 2 (PTI) To promote international flight connectivity, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) has approved a mega incentive scheme at 13 airports which includes Veer Savarkar International Airport at Port Blair in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, an official said here. This scheme will be applicable for first three years of the operations to bridge the viability gap for the initial phase, which is a very crucial phase for the sustainability of operations. Speaking to PTI, Port Blair Airport Director Devender Yadav said, 'As per this scheme for the first year 100 per cent UDF (User Development Fees) which is Rs 709 per departing passenger will be waived off to the airline. For the second year, the incentive will be 85 per cent of UDF and for the third year incentive will be 65 per cent of UDF.' Considering the flight load of 180 passengers, the incentive scheme has the potential of savings of Rs 128 lakh per flight for airlines, which is a significant amount to bridge the viability gap, he said.
