Low-cost Delhi Dhaka Flights with Airbus A320Neos

In the recent past, aviation industry has grown in India by leaps and bounds. It was because between 2004 and 2005, many low-cost carriers (LCCs) entered into the market, in a bid to make air travel available to as many people as possible in the country. Before their foray into this sector, only the full-service airlines operated in the nation. With the coming of LCCs and the trend of low cost flights, the aviation industry in the nation saw an enormous boom. As a result, many important airports across the country were either, modernized or expanded to cater to the needs of both the carriers as well to serve the demand for air service to more people.

Positive Impacts 

The greatest benefit of this change has been for travellers, who now have a greater choice of airlines, flight timings and destinations to choose from. Most LCCs often operate to destinations, where others do not, in order to gain a wider passenger base and generate more profits. This has also led to the development of certain previously underdeveloped regions or cities in India due to increased transport connectivity. Not only are these places seeing industrial development, but also there is a significant increase in the number of tourists travelling there. Its effects are also beginning to be seen on full-service airlines as they too have started offering tickets at relatively lesser prices to compete.

Negative Impacts 

Like most things, low-cost aviation has had negative effects too, along with positive ones. The most obvious of them has been environment-related as the increase in aircraft movement has led to more fuel consumption that has further led to an increase in air pollution. Another potential damage that rising jet fuel consumption could lead to is increase in the prices of air tickets. This can happen for two main reasons: decline in resources and heightened expenditure. Air turbine fuel is made by refining crude oil; the reserves of which are fast declining. As the resources are thin, its prices will increase and that can prompt airlines to increase their booking costs as well. Most carriers spend about 40 per cent of their total revenue on buying fuel for their aircraft, and if they somehow witness losses owing to competition they may again raise their fares.

Remedy and Future

While search for alternative sources for powering aircraft goes on, there is one thing that most LCCs have considered. It is to steadily ask passengers to pay less and at the same time, to reduce pollution, they need to modify their fleet. Major Indian LCCs, including IndiGo and GoAir have started ordering the lesser-polluting Airbus A320Neos.

This particular aircraft is especially good for them as due to its narrow-bodied frame and an all-Economy seating arrangement, it can carry up to 20 passengers more than its predecessors. This will translate into fewer operations, amounting to roughly 15 per cent less fuel consumption. IndiGo and GoAir have placed substantial orders for the A320Neos and once they are delivered, they may be utilized to operate on some routes that have not yet been explored. These carriers continue to expand their reach and Delhi Dhaka flights could be launched by them as these are two important Asian destinations, and people look to travel to and from them, regularly.
