Mumbai: India has no successful regional airline which can facilitate connectivity between tier II and tier III cities, a fact that should be a cause of concern for the government.
In a recent analysis, the Centre of Asia Pacific Aviation (CAPA) said that while government is trying to device policies for creating a robust regional connectivity, they lack feasibility. The scenario is not supportive of small regional ventures like MDLR and Deccan shuttles, which have succumbed to high costs of operation.
The CAPA report said that currently, 36% of the total domestic capacity is deployed only to connect six metros in the country.
