US EditionTurkey's Celebi Sues India over ‘Vague’ Ground Handling Permit Withdrawal: ‘To Impact 3,791 Jobs’
- On Thursday, the Indian government, led by junior aviation minister Murlidhar Mohol, cancelled Celebi's security clearance, effectively halting the company's ground handling operations throughout the country.
- The government acted after receiving widespread requests across India, citing national security concerns linked to Turkey's stance on Pakistan.
- Celebi, a Turkish airport ground handling firm operating in major Indian airports, challenged the revocation as based on vague security claims without detailed explanation.
- The company argued that the order lacks any clear or concrete justification and relies solely on a broad and unclear claim of national security, putting approximately 3,791 jobs at risk.
- The revocation prompted termination of several key agreements, legal challenges by Celebi, and public protests, with concerns over investor confidence and job losses.
