IndiGo second on international routes, we are still market leader: Air India

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% share in September when measured in terms of available seat kilometres (ASKMs).
