List of commercial airlines in India

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Indian carriers will press into service a new aircraft in every week of 2006. All told, they are expected to buy or take on lease 60 new aircraft during the year, increasing their fleet size by over a third, from 175 now to 235 a year from now.

Passengers may groan at the prospect of more delayed landings and take-offs on account of airport congestion in India. But entrepreneurial enthusiasm is undimmed. In a second year of frenetic action, half a dozen new carriers are slated to start operations in 2006, and at least four airlines are expected to float initial public offerings.
