Due to intense competition, the domestic market share of Air India, and SpiceJet fell marginally in 2018 even though their passenger count increased by 2.031 million, 1.143 million and 1.672 million, respectively.
"Despite the marginal increase in airfares and localised and seasonal issues like bank strikes and cancellations due to fog, the domestic passenger market has registered a strong YoY (year-on-year) growth of 18.6 per cent," said Aloke Bajpai, CEO and Co-founder of travel website Ixigo.
"We are happy to finish 2018 on a high note by registering the highest passenger load factor of 92.7 per cent in December — a feat we accomplished every single month of the previous year," said Shilpa Bhatia, Chief Sales and Revenue Officer, SpiceJet.
