AirAsia eyeing Indian market

Officials from Asia’s biggest low-cost carrier AirAsia are to meet with Indian aviation officials in Calcutta this week to discuss the prospects of bringing AisAsia’s services to Indian destinations. The move has been given added credence following Malaysia Airlines’ announcement that it plans to discontinue service to Calcutta and Ahmedabad as part of the its three-year turnaround plan.
Sources indicate AirAsia is keen on starting service to Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore and Calcutta. Service to these Indian cities may begin sometime this year.
To win a share of the lucrative Indian market, AirAsia is expected to retain its highly competitive and aggressive pricing, which is its strongest attraction.
