Celebi is the second firm to show interest in buying Air India’s ground handling operations. Once the nation’s largest carrier, Air India’s share of the booming domestic market has slumped to 13% as private carriers such as IndiGo and Jet Airways have expanded. In July, InterGlobe Aviation’s IndiGo, India’s largest airline that flies four of every 10 passengers, said it was keen to buy Air India’s international arm and low-cost division Air India Express.
