GoAir denies merger talks with its largest rival in Indian aviation i.e. Spice jet. GoAir chief executive officer says that, they are not looking for any kind of merger with Spicejet. This all was told to reporters during a press conference on 25th March’09 in New Delhi. The merger has been denied by saying it as one of the rumors. The officer also said that Jet Airways and Kingfisher airlines too had a merger as a part of cost cutting by becoming code sharing partners, sharing crew and managing fuel so, there can be a consolidation with other airlines as a part of cost cutting.
The officer says that GoAir is planning to add on fleets, taking it to 20 by 2012 from current six. Though merger is good for airlines to come out of any kind of losses but still making decisions and implementing them is a task in itself. In the last the officer adds on that, an intelligent investor is always an opportunity but this all depends on conditions as well.
