India’s airlines are powered by the country’s rapidly expanding civil aviation industry. India’s domestic airline market is the third-largest in the world as of November 2018, and it is predicted to overtake the top spot in the next 10 to 15 years. Much of this might be attributed to increased rivalry among India’s domestic carriers. Local carriers have continually given affordable fares for air travel over the last few years while maintaining and upgrading their services. This has resulted in a steady increase in the number of clients opting for air travel with each passing year.
