Qatar Airways Denies India Rumours

There has been much media speculation in recent days linking Qatar Airways with airlines in India.

So much so, that the Doha-based airline has issued a statement clearly stating that is not currently in talks with any Indian airline.

“Qatar Airways categorically denies it is interested in investing in Spicejet or any other Indian airline. This is pure speculation by individuals who deliberately want to spread such unfounded rumours to raise the stock value of their entities, said Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer, Akbar Al Baker. “India is a huge market and a potentially lucrative one. While we have expressed interest in expanding our presence in India, we will only be interested in any potential investment once we are sure regulations and laws are properly liberalised. I can confirm we are currently not talking to any Indian airline.”
