India is one of the fastest growing aviation markets in the world. After liberalization of the Indian aviation sector, the industry had witnessed entry of the privately owned full service airlines and low cost carriers. However, the growth in the sector has slowed with the rise in fuel prices and decline in passenger traffic. The increasing losses of domestic carriers are expected to lead to some consolidation and regulatory changes in coming years. The report is a databank providing financial and operational data of each domestic airline in India. It begins with an overview of the regulatory changes in Indian aviation space highlighting changes in FDI policy, taxes and duties and airport infrastructure. The report provides a snapshot of leading domestic carriers in India including their financial performance, revenue breakdown and domestic operations. The reports also provide historical traffic and operational statistics of each carrier. Traffic statistics includes parameters such as fleet size, number of flights operated per day, average passenger load factor etc. Operational performance includes parameters such as number of employees per aircraft, operating revenue per employee, operating expense per employee etc.
