Airlines add flights to India to meet rising demand

Singapore: Airlines added nine weekly flights to India last year, bringing its total to 104. Air France-KLM is increasing its seat capacity on Indian flights by 25 per cent this winter. United Airlines has just begun offering non-stop seasonal daily flights from San Francisco to Delhi. And Delta Air Lines began non-stop service between Kennedy International Airport in New York and Mumbai in December.

In the past few years, more than 20 of the 80 international airlines that fly to India have added services, in some cases through arrangements with other airlines, called code sharing.

Travel between the United States and India increased 10.3 per cent from the first half of 2018 to the first half of 2019, American Express Global Business Travel reported.


At this pace, India is expected to become the third-largest aviation market by 2024, behind China and the US, said the Center for Aviation, a company that provides market intelligence to the aviation and travel industry.
