Low-cost carrier SpiceJet on Wednesday told the Delhi High Court that Terminal-1 (T-1) of the IGI Airport here cannot be given exclusively to IndiGo Airlines, as doing so would be anti-competitive.
IndiGo, on the other hand, told the court that it cannot give up its option of staying fully in T-1 and said if in future its number of passengers exceeds the capacity of the terminal, then it will move some of it to T-2.
It declined to accept partial shift of its operations to T-2, as ordered by Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL), saying its suggestion to be allowed to stay in T-1 and GoAir and SpiceJet be moved to T-2, was never considered.
The court has reserved its judgement on IndiGo’s plea challenging a single judge order of December 20, 2017 upholding DIAL’s decision to partially shift operations of the three airlines from T-1 to T-2.
The development comes barely a week after IndiGo told the court that some headway has been made in the meeting with DIAL.
