Doha: One World Alliance may soon have IndiGo under its wing. If this happens, IndiGo will be the second Indian airline, after Air India, to join a global alliance.
“We are actually a lead alliance in terms of revenue from the Indian market because of British Airways, Qatar Airways, Cathay Pacific and Sri Lankan Airways as our members. People do ask me, ‘are you going to add Indian airlines’ and my answer is ‘maybe’,” Bruce Ashby, CEO of One World Alliance, told Business Line, without naming IndiGo.
The alliance has as members 15 airlines, which together carry 500 million passengers a year to around 250 destinations.
Ashby, who headed IndiGo some years ago, said: “We have no announcement to make to you today. We are looking at it.”
One World and Star are the two key alliances globally. Being part of an alliance helps airlines provide a number of added facilities.
