Domestic airlines should consider deploying wide-body aircraft on dense domestic routes to add capacity as well as to control rising airfares, GE Aerospace’s chief executive for South Asia, Vikram Rai told Fe on Tuesday.
Lately, aircraft groundings due to supply chain constraints, along with the insolvency of GoFirst, have led to a capacity crunch, leading to a rise in airfares.
As a short-term solution, wide-body operations on dense domestic routes will add the much-needed capacity.
