Claimimg that the Jet-Sahara deal had not changed the aviation industry in the country too much, Kingfisher Airlines Chief Vijay Mallaya has asked the Government to ensure a level playing field to all the airlines by giving them equal infrastructural benefits.
"I do not see a palpable difference as such in the industry so far but the government would have to ensure that all airlines are given the same infrastructural facilities to keep a level playing field," the UB group Chairman told PTI on the sidelines of the international tourism fair here.
When asked if he regretted not taking over Sahara, Mallaya said "not at all. I will get the same results if I put a quarter of the same investment in my own airlines." Mallaya also denied that Kingfisher was looking to acquire other players, saying "there is no need to accquire right now. Also we have the IPO coming out now and we are looking to concentrate on that." "Even in the long term the question is who else is there to accquire?," Mallay said.
