SINGAPORE AIRLINES, TATAS
TO FLOAT $100M AIRLINE
 The Tata’s and Singapore Airlines (SIA) are taking to the skies with a new
joint venture after two aborted take-offs 18 and 13 years ago
 Has sought approval from FIPB to establish a full-service airline
headquartered in New Delhi , at an initial investment of $100 million.
 With a stake of 51 per cent, the Tata's would be the driving force in the joint
venture
 The airline has chosen Delhi as its operational hub, owing to capacity
constraints at the Mumbai airport.







The airline would start operations sometimes next year, subject to
clearances.
The project teams are already working on the business plan and the number
of planes they would require.
The final contours would depend on whether the government scraps the
rule under which domestic carriers have operate for five years before flying
abroad.
Its business plan incorporates international services, as and when permitted.
If they play it well, Tata-SIA has the potential to be among the top three
airlines in India by 2015.

aviation sector.
