Air India and Emirates account for 36 per cent of market share of India-US air traffic and their dominance has come under challenge with US airlines launching new services to India.
United launched a daily San Francisco-Delhi flight earlier in the month and Delta will begin its New York - Mumbai service next week offering customers more non stop travel options "This is a good time for Delta to be in Indian market," said airline's sales director (Africa, Middle East and India) Jimmy Eichelgruen. He pointed out to the growth in trade and trave between the two countries and said the new flight beginning December 24 will give Indian passengers easy onward connections to 50 cities in the US.
Harvinder Singh, United's country manager in India said launch of new flight will give customers more choice and connections from San Francisco to 40 other destinations across US and Canada.
Over 5.4 million passengers flew between two countries in twelve months ending September. Emirates is the largest carrier on India-US market with a 20 per cent share of passenger traffic. Air India which operates 33 flights per week has a share of 16 per cent and Qatar Airways takes third place with 11 per cent. Air India's share increased from 11 per cent four years ago to 16 per cent now as it introduced new flights to San Francisco and Washington.
