Jet Airways (Mumbai International) is facing headwinds with its plan to join Star Alliance with competitor Air India (AI, Delhi International) in strong opposition of the plans given the still unresolved dispute between the alliance and state owned national carrier with Star Alliance claiming Air India would not been allowed to join Star Alliance as it would not meet minimum joining requirements. According to a report by Livemint, Star Alliance had already been pushing the Indian government and Air India to accept a future membership of Jet Airways in the alliance since 2011 before the Air India application to join has been put on hold.
