New Delhi: The Sahara Group resumed charge of Air Sahara on Thursday after its Rs 2,300-crore deal for a takeover by Jet Airways fell apart.
"I see energy and enthusiasm in people behind the counters, absolutely new freshness in them. If at all I see something, I am seeing something positive," Air Sahara President Alok Sharma told reporters at the Delhi airport.
The airline would give passengers very good service, he said, adding, "They (Air Sahara employees) are looking after passengers very well."
About Jet describing Air Sahara as a loss-making enterprise, Sharma said the numbers being quoted were far from the truth.
"Had the clearance come in, the numbers would not have gone bad," he said, taking a dig at Jet officials.
"Many of the things going around are figment of imagination," he added.
Sahara Group took over operations after Jet Airways' Rs 2,300 crore bid to acquire Air Sahara collapsed Wednesday, more than five months after the biggest deal in Indian civil aviation sector was announced.
Sharma had told reporters last night that if there were no response from Jet Airways, Sahara group would take back control of Air Sahara operations.
The issue of clearances is also in question. Jet chairman Naresh Goyal has got the nod from the intelligence bureau but the government's final approval has yet to come through. The hearing on the issue is slated for Friday.
