Tatas won't get into airline business, Ratan Tata says
Ratan Tata has hinted that his group is unlikely to venture into aviation business.
MUMBAI: Once pioneers in civil aviation, the Tata group is unlikely to get into the sector because of "destructive competition", its outgoing chairman Ratan Tata indicated on Sunday.
Recalling the group's proposal for a tie up with Singapore International Airlines (SIA) for a domestic carrier in India in the mid-1990s, the Tata patriarch pointed out, "it is a different sector today than it was at that time.
"It is somewhat like telecom. It is proliferated by many operators some of them in financial trouble. I would hesitate to go into the sector today in the sense that the chances are that you would have a great deal of competition which would be unhealthy competition."
