The security clearance for Celebi Aviation was revoked after concerns emerged over its ties to Turkey's political stance, particularly the country’s support for Pakistan in various international matters. The move by Indian authorities comes amid heightened scrutiny of foreign companies with potential connections to geopolitical tensions.
Celebi Aviation emphasized that despite the majority ownership held by international investors, the company has always adhered to the required security protocols and laws in India. It further assured that it remains committed to providing services in full compliance with Indian regulations.
The company, which has been operating in India for over a decade, acknowledged the importance of national security and has expressed its intent to resolve the situation swiftly. Celebi also reassured its clients, partners, and employees that it would take the necessary legal steps to address the matter and reinstate its security clearance.
A statement from the company clarified that the revocation of the security clearance was a result of external geopolitical dynamics, not due to any violation of Indian laws or regulations by the company itself. The firm remains in discussions with relevant authorities to address the concerns and continue its operations in India.
Celebi Aviation has played a significant role in ground handling services at major Indian airports, and the company’s ongoing operations are crucial for the aviation sector's efficiency.
