Mumbai: Competition from Gulf carriers has made the burgeoning Indian
aviation market "tough" and Air France-KLM would have to upgrade its
image to address this challenge, the airline's global CEO has said. "Of
course, Indian market is an important one, (mainly due to an) enormous
population and a growing economy but it is a difficult one," said Air
France-KLM CEO Alexandre de Juniac, stressing that competition was
"tough" in India primarily due to the Gulf carriers.
Flagging concerns about challenge posed by Gulf airlines, Juniac said the scenario needs to be addressed with the right tools. "We have to address that competition with the right tool -meaning the right aircraft, providing the right service and right products.
"I think we have to upgrade our image in India using the new product and services. We would like to be counted one among the most preferred airlines to travel everywhere," he said, expressing keenness to strengthen his airline's presence in the "important" Indian aviation space.
Emphasising upon the need for improving aviation infrastructure in India, Juniac said there should be less costly airports.
