Indian back as the second largest domestic carrier

New Delhi: Indian Airlines is back as the second largest domestic carrier in the country, overtaking low-cost carrier Air Deccan, by just about a whisker.
According to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) figures for July, Indian Airlines’ market share dipped 0.3% in that month to 20.5% from 20.8% in June. Air Deccan, however, lost 1% to land at 20.2% in July. The Jet Airways share, too, fell 0.6%, but it maintained its leadership with a market share of 31.7% in July. Industry midgets have started to bite slices off the Indian aviation pie. The market share of Kingfisher Airlines and Go Air increased from 7.9% and 2.4%, respectively, in June to 8.2% and 2.8%, in July.
Though full service carriers are still the biggest players in the market, their share has shrunk from 76.4% in January to 60.3% in June.
