NEW
DELHI: India's largest domestic airline by market share, IndiGo, is now
also the fastest growing one. The directorate general of civil aviation
(DGCA) Monday cleared the schedule of domestic flights this winter which
will be effective by this month-end.
Only low-cost carriers IndiGo and GoAir will be operating more flights this winter than they did last year. All other Indian carriers have cut flights. But thanks to these IndiGo and Go and new launches Tata Group's AirAsia India, this winter will see almost 60 more flights everyday — something that is expected to help check help the steep hike in fares in the coming peak travel season.
Financially struggling SpiceJet is slashing flights the most by 16.2%, in a clear bid to rein in costs. Air India's subsidiary Alliance Air has the second deepest cut at 13.9% but that is largely due to the DGCA's unprecedented ruling that smaller commercial aircraft which cannot operate in dense fog will not be allowed in Delhi this winter. Alliance Air has only turboprop ATR and Canadian Regional Jets (CRJ) in its fleet. Read news in full Saurabh Sinha,TNN | Oct 14, 2014, 04.34 AM IST
