Proposed Policy Change Sparks Debate On Competition And Fair Access
India is considering a policy change that would allow major airport operators to own and operate airlines, potentially increasing competition in the country’s rapidly growing aviation market. The proposal, which would require legal review and approval, could open the door for airport operators like Adani Group and GMR Airports to launch their own carriers. This move may help challenge the dominance of IndiGo and Air India, which currently account for nearly 90% of India’s domestic passenger capacity. The proposal was reported by Aviation Pros.
