New airlines fly high in 2007

New Delhi: In a young India it's the young airlines that's flying high. The year 2007 saw comparatively new airlines such as Kingfisher Airlines, SpiceJet, IndiGo and GoAir closing in on established carriers like Jet Airways, Air Deccan, JetLite (formerly Air Sahara) and Air India (erstwhile Indian), according to the market share figures released by the Director general of Civil Aviation.
Going by the number of passengers, however, it was only the market leader Jet Airways that saw a dip in 2007 by carrying 9.7 million travellers against 10 million in 2006. Analysts attribute it to the airline's focus on international expansion.
