Press Trust of India New Delhi
Comparison of regulatory hurdles in the domestic aviation sector to hair loss triggered a witty exchange between DGCA and Vistara chiefs.

It all began when Vistara CEO Phee Teik Yeoh indicated that the domestic aviation sector is over regulated at an aviation conference here today.

"Cost of doing business is already weighing down (carriers) even before they start competing," he noted.

In an apparent reference to regulatory hurdles in India, he said, some friends have been asking him whether he lost hair after coming here.

In a witty response, Sathiyavathy said, "I have been seeing him for the past one-and-a-half years... He (might have) lost his hair in Singapore, not here."
 

Vistara, a full service carrier to enter the Indian aviation space recently, is a joint venture between Singapore Airlines and Tatas.
