New Delhi: Jet Airways and the yet-to-be launched Vistara are poised to
offer more full-service options to Indian airline passengers who are
used to budget options, although analysts point out the move may be
expensive and take time.
Before Kingfisher Airlines wound up services in 2012, full-service carriers, including Jet Airways and Air India, used to fly over 50% of the passengers. Currently, low-fare carriers such as IndiGo, SpiceJet and GoAir rule the skies, offering about 80% of the nation's airline capacity and carrying over 65% of the fliers.
They have also started offering premium services, which will make the shift to full-service even more competitive. Air India offers a large part of its capacity in the full-service space. Jet Airways has announced the dissolution of the Jet-Konnect brand and will offer only fullservice capacity to Indian consumers. Vistara, a joint venture between Tata Sons and Singapore Airlines, plans to launch premium full-service capacity in the country towards the end of this year.
