AirAsia India aims to fly high

The Indian sky has been “painted red” at last, after over a year of waiting with the official launch of Asia’s largest budget carrier, AirAsia Group’s sixth affiliate AirAsia India Pte Ltd last week.
It is the first foreign airline to be based in India after the country’s government relaxed its rules by allowing foreign carriers to own up to 49 per cent in an Indian airline two years ago, and the journey was not easy.
AirAsia India had to wait patiently for 14 months to receive the approval from India’s Ministry of Civil Aviation as well as the air operator’s permit,  besides facing backlash from its competitors in the country.
After all the buzz of its entrance in India’s competitive aviation sector since its announcement on February 19th last year, AirAsia India is here to stay and it will be spreading its wings as far as it can, to reach the mass market in the country for over one billion Indians to fly.
