  • The Fragile Truce Between the Two Co-Founders O
    1 Actualités du transport aérien 1-14 octobre 2019 Revue de presse NEW DELHI : The fragile truce between the two co-founders of InterGlobe Aviation Ltd, which runs budget airline IndiGo, appears to be all but broken, with Rahul Bhatia submitting an arbitration request against Rakesh Gangwal on Tuesday before the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA). IndiGo said in a BSE filing that InterGlobe Enterprises Pvt. Ltd (IGE Group) and Rahul Bhatia have submitted a request for arbitration to the LCIA under the shareholder agreement of InterGlobe Aviation on 23 April 2015 between the IGE Group and Rakesh Gangwal Group (RG Group) which comprises Gangwal, the Chinkerpoo Family Trust and Shobha Gangwal. “The company (InterGlobe Aviation) has been named as a respondent, as it is a party to the shareholder agreement," IndiGo said. The development follows Gangwal reaching out to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) on 30 August, seeking directions on issues ranging from related-party transactions (RPTs) and chairman M. Damodaran’s conduct to curbing Bhatia-owned IGE’s “unusual controlling rights". Gangwal and his associates hold nearly 37% in InterGlobe Aviation, while IGE group owns around 38%. Although the two groups own similar stakes, an initial agreement gave special rights to Bhatia’s company. On 27 August, Mint reported that Gangwal had agreed to support the proposed changes at an annual general meeting after some of his demands, including on board expansion and RPTs, were accepted, ending months of public wrangling. With both promoters refusing to back down, the dispute may prove to be a costly distraction for the airline, which dominates Indian skies with nearly 50% market share.

    1 Revue de presse 1-14 mars 2019 The liquidity crunch, and the subsequent delay in sealing a resolution deal, may have cost Jet Airways its second rank in Indian aviation's pecking order. At least on standalone basis, a metric to evaluate market share that excludes an airline's low-cost arm. Monthly data from regulator DGCA for January shows that SpiceJet, with a market share of 13.3 percent is now second to market leader IndiGo, which continues with its dominant position, at 42.5 percent. Jet Airways is not even third now. Air India takes that spot with 12.2 percent, followed by the Naresh Goyal-airline with 11.9 percent. Only solace for the distressed airline is the support given by its low cost arm Jet Lite, which has a share of 1.7 percent. Put together, Jet Airways has a total market share of 13.6 percent, taking it to the second place. The shift, in fact, had taken place in December itself. The market shares were - Air India at 12.4 percent, SpiceJet with 12.3 percent, and Jet Airways at 12.2 percent. A year ago, in January 2018, Jet Airways was sitting pretty with a market share of 14.3 percent, followed by Air India (13.3 percent) and SpiceJet (12.6 percent).
