New Delhi: Hours after AirAsia India launched its maiden flight, Tata Sons, a stakeholder in the carrier, today accused "vested interests, inimical to free and fair competition" of "spreading canards to jeopardise the operations".
The Tatas, a partner in the new low-cost carrier with Malaysia's AirAsia and Arun Bhatia's Telestra Tradeplace, came out with a strong reaction to BJP leader Subramanian Swamy's charges against AirAsia India, terming them as "misleading".
"Vested interests, inimical to free and fair competition that can benefit air travellers, are spreading canards to jeopardise the operations of AirAsia India," Tata Sons said in a statement.
Asserting that AirAsia India had received all permissions from the government and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to launch operations, it said: "Despite various applications made, amongst others, by Dr Swamy, no injunctions have been ordered by any court restraining AirAsia India from commencing its operations."
The Delhi High Court is seized of the matter and AirAsia India and Tata Sons shall honour the ruling of the court, it added.
