India has 'no time frame' for permitting Airbus A380 flights into the country amid concern that travellers could desert local carriers, aviation minister Vayalar Ravi said yesterday. "If we allow the biggest aircraft to land here, they'll sweep up all the passengers," he said.
The International Herald Tribune notes that banning the world's largest passenger planes and other restrictions on overseas airlines' flying rights have cut competition for Air India, Jet Airways and Kingfisher Airlines, all of which are struggling to turn surging travel demand into profit amid high fuel costs and price competition.
Emirates and Lufthansa have both said they would use the A380 superjumbo on flights to India, if permitted.
