Lufthansa, a founding member of the Star Alliance, has said Air India needs to complete all formalities to join the global airline grouping before the final deadline of July 31.
"The Star Alliance has set the time limit for Air India to become a full-fledged member. So, it is time for Air India to prepare by July 31 and meet all criteria. All the solutions need to be worked out by that day", said Carsten Spohr, CEO of Lufthansa German Airlines.
Asked about Jet Airways' membership application, he said the private Indian carrier "will become the second member of Star Alliance. Whoever is ready, can join. We have extended an open arm to welcome both of them".
