According to German airline Lufthansa, starting a domestic airline in India would be a “misadventure.” The warning comes after Qatar Airways’ recent announcement that it plans to do just that.
Lufthansa senior director for South Asia Wolfgang Will was quoted by Bloomberg as pointing out that he “did not hear up to now of any domestic airline in India making a lot of profit.”
The comments come from a company with a history of failure in the country. Lufthansa’s Indian partnership, ModiLuft, came to an end in 1996 due to an array of obstacles including disputes with creditors, oil companies and the Airports Authority of India.
WELL QATAR is probably owned by some rich Prince. The prince can afford to lose a lot of money. Will be good for Indian popolation. They will get cheaper flights at the expense of QATAR. Nothing wrong with that.
