Battered by the Covid-19 pandemic, India’s aviation sector relies on sustainability for the road to viability among airports and airlines. Here’s what works, what doesn’t.
With the decline in the second wave of the pandemic, passenger confidence in air travel is on the rebound. Starting October, though, is when traffic numbers could gain momentum, says IndiGo.
Jet Airways’ new investor Murari Lal Jalan says it will take about six months to get all approvals for a relaunch. But will the resurgence of Covid-19 infections further delay the airline’s revival?
India’s air bubble agreement with the U.S. has given a fillip to 16-hour non-stop flights between the two nations. Air India has taken a lead, but questions remain about its continuity.
Even as the Tata group doubles down on its aviation bets, IndiGo is also preparing ground for its next stage of growth. It’s on a mission to build the best airline system for India, says its CEO.
While the Jet 2.0 programme is aimed at reviving the past glory of Jet Airways, the airline's new investors need to have the appetite for losses and commitment to investing top dollar. Will they?
While Jet Airways has found investors in UK-based Kalrock Capital, and UAE-based entrepreneur Murari Lal Jalan, the impact of Covid-19 on the aviation industry could derail its second take-off.
Data by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation showed that more domestic travellers took to the skies last month, as compared to August. Although, traffic is still down on an yearly basis.
