India is a huge market for the aviation industry. It is been on a rise not only in commercial aviation but also in general aviation. The usage has become more than usual and airlines are keeping up with the rising trend. All the airlines were operated by private players other than Air India. Air India is now owned by the TATA group.
Indigo has the largest market share in the aviation industry. It is a low-cost carrier started in the year 2006 and is based in Gurgaon, Haryana. The fleet the airline uses is the same which means they save a lot of money on maintenance and spare parts. It also helps in adding flexibility in routing the planes. It works on the leaseback model wherein it places huge orders and in return gets a bulk discount. The aircraft it uses are all young hence the cost of repairs comes down. They have no stopover for the crew which means they return to their home city therefore no lodging cost. They boast and adhere to on-time performance. The fights always depart on time and land on time. They have an amazingly quick turnaround time wherein the plane is ready to take off within 20 to 30 minutes. The passengers are not provided with any frill or benefits on board. The entire focus is on travel from destination to origin in the least possible time. Airlines like Kingfisher should learn from Indigo’s business model whose failure had been the talk of the aviation industry.
They operate to 50 destinations including national as well as domestic. It is a very friendly airline for its employees and has its hub in New Delhi. The airline charge for everything it offers on board therefore it is extra income generation by the airline. Indigo has made air travel available to the middle class and lower income groups and opened new sectors for flying.
