NEW DELHI: Foreign airlines are keen to acquire Air India, Disinvestment Secretary Tuhin Kanta Pandey told TNIE on Tuesday.
“We have seen sufficient interest from potential foreign buyers, some of them airlines. We can’t name them because of the confidentiality clause,” he said.
“Under existing norms, foreign airlines can acquire only up to 49% in the national carrier. So, foreign carriers wishing to bid will have to be part of a consortium (with Indian partners),” Pandey added.
