IndiGo won't sever ties with Turkish Airlines unless the Indian regulatory system orders: CEO
New Delhi, May 30 (UNI) IndiGo on Friday said it will not end its leasing arrangement with Turkish Airlines as of now but will take necessary steps if it receives any such directive under the Indian regulatory system. IndiGo CEO Peter Elbers said this at a press conference here to share information about the company's annual results. IndiGo uses Boeing 777s and 787s leased from Turkish carriers for long-haul international routes. He was responding to a question on severing ties with Turkish companies in several areas in view of Turkey's strong support for Pakistan during Operation Sindoor after the Pahalgam terror attack. IndiGo also has a leasing agreement with Turkish Airlines, is IndiGo also thinking of taking such a step? In response to this question, Elbers said that we have an air service agreement with Turkish Airlines. We work in terms of the regulatory framework. If there is a change in the regulatory framework, we will take necessary steps. The second is our large customer base who have booked on flights operated by 777 aircraft leased from Turkish Airlines. If there is a directive to change the regulatory system, we will necessarily think about possible steps. Wet-leased planes (jets operated by another airline but planes flying under the IndiGo brand) are being used by IndiGo as the airline is venturing into long-haul operations. The upcoming routes from Mumbai to Manchester and Amsterdam starting in July will be operated by Boeing 787-9 aircraft under this arrangement. The leasing agreement with Turkish Airlines is crucial to IndiGo's strategy to rapidly connect its long-haul fleet to international destinations without waiting for it. Currently serving more than 90 domestic and 40 international destinations, the airline aims to reach 50 international cities by the end of the year. The CEO gave a detailed presentation on IndiGo's 18-year journey and said the airline plans to add direct flights to 10 new international destinations in the current financial year, including major cities like London, Athens, Amsterdam and Manchester. In addition to these routes, flights to four Central Asian destinations and South-East Asian cities such as Siem Reap are included. On the domestic front, IndiGo is planning to increase connectivity by connecting four airports in the country: Hindon, Adampur, Navi Mumbai and Jewar. IndiGo, India's largest airline by market share, operates more than 2,300 daily flights with a fleet of more than 430 aircraft. Its 2024-25 expansion is supported by India's growing air travel demand and improving airport infrastructure. Elbers said, "The Indian aviation sector is at a critical juncture. We are excited to lead the next phase of growth, the strategy for which will be balanced with quick decisions, scale and regulatory compliance." UNI XC GNK RN

Afghan Taliban welcomes Pakistan's decision to elevate diplomatic mission
Kabul/Islamabad, June 1 (UNI) The Afghan interim government has welcomed Pakistan's decision to elevate the diplomatic mission to the level of ambassador, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement. "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan welcomes the decision of the government of Pakistan to upgrade the level of its diplomatic mission in Kabul to that of an ambassador," said the statement by the ministry's deputy spokesman Hafiz Zia Ahmad posted on his X handle on late Saturday evening. "In reciprocity, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan will elevate the status of its mission in Islamabad from chargé d'affaires to ambassador," the statement further said. "This elevation in diplomatic representation between Afghanistan and Pakistan paves the way for enhanced bilateral cooperation in multiple domains," the statement added. With relations between the two neighbours extremely tense, amid frequent cases of cross border fire, Pakistan's rough treatment of Afghan nationals during rapid deportation, and the massive instability in the country's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region where the terror organisation - the Tehreek -e- Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has gained significant footing, the development signals an intermittent cooling down of hostilities on a diplomatic scale. As per Xinhua, this development came following the China-Afghanistan-Pakistan trilateral dialogue in Beijing on May 21, which focused on improving regional cooperation, with China being one of the few states who have recognised the Taliban regime and is openly engaged in dialogue with them.
