Internal trouble in Indigo might hit operations |
After Air India and Jet, Indigo also lands into the rough terrain. As per the reports there have been some serious differences that have cropped up between the two founders of IndiGo that could end up affecting the airline`s functioning if left unresolved. Among the issues are clauses in the shareholders` agreement and differences between the two founders — Rahul Bhatia and Rakesh Gangwal. Both founders are, however, trying to iron out the differences so that the functioning of the airline isn`t impacted. “The dispute may have escalated in the last few weeks, but things are at a very nascent stage with regard to any formal legal dispute and both parties are weighing other options as well. It was Gangwal who was behind IndiGo`s record breaking plane orders, its aggressive expansion in India and the ambition to make it a global carrier which resulted in vast changes in senior management. IndiGo currently has a fleet of 225 planes. Both founders believe the group is at an inflection point as it chases its next phase of growth. With Jet Airways and Air India floundering, they believe IndiGo can occupy the vacant slots left behind by the two legacy carriers.
