The aviation industry has undergone significant changes in the past few years. Developing economies like India and China are emerging as two of the most lucrative markets in the aviation industry as per the International Aviation Transport Association (IATA). This is the reason that global carriers like AirAsia, Singapore Airlines and Etihad recently invested a huge sum of money in India. AirAsia India, launched a few months back, serves seven cities in the country, and is planning to operate flights from Delhi in March. This airline has been acknowledged by industry experts for its cheap flight offers. Earlier, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the company said that they will focus their operation on small cities. However now, it is planning to expand its business on metro routes as well, and travellers can avail these cost-efficient tickets on Delhi-Goa and Bengaluru routes.
Current Plans
As per reports, after the commencement of flights to Delhi, the carrier is expecting the delivery of its sixth aircraft in May. As soon as this new model joins the fleet of the airline, it may announce wee hours on Pune and Jaipur routes. Currently, wee hour flights to Delhi and Mumbai are operated by most of the carriers, and this new change can attract a number of new fliers. This airline is generating positive cash back as it focuses on keeping the cost of operations low and flight occupancy high. It will follow the same strategy in the coming months till new changes are not introduced in the industry. In addition to this, the reduction in Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) also helped the carrier in announcing cheap flight offers on various routes. Initially, the airline had decided not to fly to Delhi and Mumbai due to high costs but changed its plans. Now along with catering to the niche market, the carrier is also trying to capitalise on popular routes. It is planning to increase its fleet up to 11 by the end of 2015, and increase the connectivity between different cities of the country.
Other New Announcements
Apart from AirAsia, SpiceJet also announced new flights to Delhi in March. The Sun Group-owned low-cost carrier has announced two daily flights form Varanasi to Delhi on March 1, 2015. Now people who travel quite often from the holy city to the capital city of India can avail these new services. This introductory one of all the flight offers is available at INR 2437, inclusive of all taxes. The morning and evening flight to Delhi from Varanasi allows travellers to return on the same day. It is beneficial for business people, who cannot afford a longer stay at one place. The Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) of the company said that the company will also change its summer schedule in order to attract more fliers.
SpiceJet has recently recovered from a crisis, and is all geared up to tackle the competition in the market. It recently announced its valentine sale and offered seats at as low as INR 599 for various destinations of the country. Apart from this, a number of managerial changes have also been introduced in the company. After a board meeting, the ownership of the company has been transferred to Ajay Singh from Kalanithi Maran. It is expected that these aforementioned offers may help the carrier in generating high revenue that will further assist it in regaining its lost status.
