New Delhi: Air India on Monday said it is still a market leader among Indian airlines when it comes to flying on international routes as its capacity deployment on such routes is currently almost double than that of the number-two position holder IndiGo.
The national carrier’s response came after a consultancy firm, Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation (CAPA), released a report on August 31 stating that IndiGo “now has the largest share of international seats to/from India”.
Air India on Monday wrote an e-mail to CAPA stating that according to its “comparative scheduled capacity analysis on international routes”, the national carrier has 16.7 per cent share in September when measured in terms of available seat kilometres (ASKMs).
