New Delhi: The Delhi High Court Wednesday issued notice to the central government and Malaysia-based AirAsia on a plea by the Federation of Indian Airlines (FIA) seeking quashing of the approval granted to it to start flight operations in India.
A division bench of Acting Chief Justice B.D. Ahmed and Justice Siddharth Mridul also issued notice to the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) and sought response by March 12.
The government March 26 last year had approved AirAsia's proposal to set up a new airline in partnership with the Tata Group and the Arun Bhatia-promoted Telestra Tradeplace to create a low-cost airline in India.
On Feb 21, the director general of civil aviation (DGCA) granted permission to AirAsia to start its air operations.
