Qatar Airways keen on a tie-up with India low-cost carrier GoAir - Business Today

Qatar Airways keen on a tie-up with India low-cost carrier GoAir - Business Today:

"Cash-rich Qatar Airways is keen on a tie-up with the country's low-cost carrier GoAir as it does not want to be left behind archrival Etihad in the race for bilateral traffic rights, which provide Gulf carriers access to the huge Indian aviation market.

GoAir is expected to get approval to fly outside India sometime this year gaining access to a substantial share of bilateral traffic rights, a top government official said.

With close to 80,000 more seats per week still available with the government for bilateral traffic rights for Gulf destinations, civil aviation ministry sources said that a good share of these seats could go to GoAir. According to sources, GoAir and Qatar Airways representatives have sounded ministry officials on the issue in informal discussions held at Rajiv Gandhi Bhavan. "
