Aniket Ghosh Shares Expert Insights on CCI’s Probe into IndiGo Flight Disruptions
Aniket Ghosh was recently quoted in a Business Standard article examining the Competition Commission of India’s (CCI) decision to look into complaints against IndiGo following recent flight disruptions across multiple routes.
Commenting on the regulatory process, Aniket highlighted that upon receipt of information, the CCI must first form a prima facie view on whether IndiGo’s conduct merits a detailed investigation by the Director General. He noted that this assessment would involve evaluating key factors such as IndiGo’s access to airport slots, its scale of operations, and overall market presence.
Importantly, Aniket highlighted that the CCI’s analysis is likely to be nuanced, taking into account the practical realities of the aviation sector, including route-level competition, high operating costs, and sustained price pressures faced by airlines.
His comments provide valuable clarity on how competition law principles are applied in complex, highly regulated sectors like aviation, where operational disruptions must be assessed alongside market dynamics and consumer impact.
