Star Alliance "Suspends" Air India's Entry

Well we can specualte its not IT infrastructure? Should be interesting to read the rationale when it public.

All of the rumors so far have been that it is IT integration issues... a lot of bureaucracy at the state owned airline.

Hopefully Jet Airways will get an invitation now.

How about safety issues as well...

It's weird that they would announce it with no real info.

News with no substance - no truth - typical. I mean why not just say they are unsafe or have bad training when you may still make billions working with them in the future. The average news reader can't read between the lines -

I believe that is right. Skyteam should also "suspen" Aerolineas Argentina´s entry. It is a company with old planes, most flights delayed or cancelled bad service from the crew, etc. I`ve flown by that company in March and it was a horrible! If Skyteam wants a South American airline in its alliance they should include PLUNA (Uruguay) or GOL (Brazil), which had grown rapidly an well in Souh America.

that's ok, 'cause I was not going to fly Air India anyway...

I remember seeing an air india plane parked in the MX area at IAD almost every day... with all of its doors wide open - as if to air out cabin. But it was EVERY day. Its not racist - just an observation. I just assumed it was because of all that curry. Ive never seen any other airliner being "aired out" on a daily basis
