New Delhi: The Indian market would turn into a battle-field between Gulf and Southeast Asian airlines targeting the growing air traffic, with Jet and Etihad and start-up airlines like AirAsia India and Tata-Singapore Airlines also wooing Indian travellers, experts said today.
Almost all experts termed the Tata-SIA deal as a welcome development in the lucrative but under-penetrated Indian market and expressed hope that enhanced competition would make air travel more affordable.
"This is a very welcome development considering that the air market in India is under-penetrated and has tremendous potential for growth.
"Additional capacity will help linking more cities as well as adding more seats on existing routes, thus growing the market by making air travel more affordable for the common man," travel portal Yatra.Com President Sharat Dhall said.
