Chennai: There is mixed response to the entry of low-cost carrier AirAsia India in the country’s domestic aviation market, which has been ailing for the last few years.
While air passengers feel that the Malaysian HQ AirAsia backed by the Tata group in India would offer better facilities to travellers at a low cost forcing other operators in the country to follow suit, aviation analysts feel that the industry would sink further.
Air Passengers’ Association of India (APAI) president D. Sudhakara Reddy said that the new entrant would bring competition to the market and it would be beneficial to passengers in the long run.
“We will get better service, schedules and cost,” he added. APAI secretary Hiren Shah further said that the entry of AirAsia India would help build capacity and consumers would also have more choices to choose from.
Sharat Dhall, president of ticketing portal yatra.com, said that the entry of AirAsia India would catalyze growth in the domestic air market that had been sluggish for the last couple of years.
