Over the forecast period, airlines in India is set to offer robust growth opportunities in terms of both passengers carried and current value sales, driven by favourable external factors in the form of government investment in aviation infrastructure, conducive policies to bolster regional connectivity, airlines’ investment in boosting fleet size, and further emphasis on increasing the number of routes to provide direct flights even from tier-2 and beyond cities to major domestic and outbound destinations.
Over the coming years, airline booking in India is expected to see a further shift online, with the majority of consumers gravitating towards online intermediaries over direct online booking via the platforms of airlines. Online intermediaries in India offer a relatively better user interface and customer experience in comparison with online direct airline booking, and also offer a wider set of benefits in the form of price lock-in, pay later, and several card-related offers.

Airlines
Airlines covers sales made to country residents (outbound and domestic tourists) and excludes sales to incoming tourists. Please note that airlines sales made to country residents when they are travelling abroad or through foreign websites or apps are also included and will be considered under the country of residence. The total amount paid for a flight after taxes and other charges is included. The return flight leg is included as well as the total amount paid for a flight ticket. Value sales exclude all forms of transit. Euromonitor International considers airline capacity and passengers carried in terms of enplanement based on scheduled flights. A passenger whose flight stops mid-route to pick up more passengers but continues with the same aircraft/flight number would be counted as one enplanement. A passenger who switches flights to another airline or aircraft with a new flight number mid-journey would be considered as two enplanements. Enplanements are not the same as number of seats sold or seat bookings, as the latter both include all bookings and do not exclude no-shows and cancellations. Direct transit passengers are excluded, eg those who continue on the same flight. Other transit passengers are included where passengers change plane with a new flight number. Air passengers carried relate directly to air value sales, where domestic and outbound travellers are only included. As such value and volume data in both sizes and shares is aligned and exclude the inbound component.
