Doha-based Qatar Airways has said it was not in talks to buy a stake in SpiceJet and confirmed the only airline it was talking to was the Indian carrier Indigo.
Media reports last week suggested that Qatar Airways was in talks with SpiceJet.
In a statement, Qatar Airways said it was not in talks to pursue a commercial stake in SpiceJet. “There is no interest from the airline to engage in a partnership with the Gurgaon-based airline.”
SpiceJet had confirmed that potential investors had shown interest in putting money into the airline and that the company was in “exploratory and preliminary stage” talks with them, without disclosing the name of the investors.
