Akasa’s Dube rejects market share chase, backs airport operators investing in airlines

IndiGo co-founder and managing director Rahul Bhatia opposed allowing airport operators to own airlines, warning that such a policy would create a “massive conflict of interest” and ultimately hurt consumers. In contrast, FLY91 managing director and chief executive officer Manoj Chacko, in an interview to Mint earlier, welcomed the possibility, provided it is accompanied by transparent governance and safeguards to ensure fair competition.
