India Rejects Application For Universal Weather & Aviation's Ground Handling Joint Venture

July 28, 2014
Regulators say 100-percent foreign equity is not allowed for ground-handling providers.

Universal Weather & Aviation’s attempt to form a joint-venture company in India to conduct its own ground handling services has been stymied by the rejection of its license application by Indian authorities.

Indian regulations state that 100-percent foreign equity is not allowed for ground-handling providers.
