IndiGo turns 16: India’s biggest airline remains a merciless competitor

Indigo is often credited because it has a sharp focus on costs. Over the years, when the airline issued its scale to take competition, the airline always said that it did not get rid of capacity and vice versa grows in place where he sees opportunities. More often than not, this Indigo opportunity finally destroys the competition.

It was the second half of 2009, Kingfisher Airlines was not in the best financial health and Indigo inaugurated a quarter of an aircraft and not an airplane a month. Kingfisher Airlines attracts one of three Delhi-Kolkata flights, a popular route. Within a few days, Indigo filled the emptiness. This airline also began to pocket a profitable night parking slot wherever Kingfisher emptying

In 2014, AirAsia India entered India with many hubbubs. The new airline is trying to re-create a business by adding non-stop flights that until now one stop. This includes flights to Chandigarh from Bengaluru. Indigo was quickly launched in this sector and added capacity to the route of Bengaluru-Kochi and Bengaluru-Goa. The one-upmanship game continues between two airlines on the Bengaluru-Kochi route even when AirAsia empties the Bengaluru-Chandigarh market at all.

Cut up to 2022. Akasa water will start the operation next week. The airline announced its first route from Mumbai and Bengaluru. His confusing choice jumped to the route of Bengaluru-Kochi and Mumbai-Ahmedabad. The response? In a few hours after the route announcement, Indigo had added one more flight between Bengaluru and Kochi and an increase in the frequency between Mumbai and Ahmedabad.

From 2009 to 2014 and now 2022, one thing remains general – try everything that can encourage competition to the corner. Since 2006, Indigo has been fighting slot rivals based on slots, flight after flight and sectors based on the sector. When approaching the 300-aircraft sign, it is now easier to do it than in the past!

Low-cost operators are not the only one being pursued. On June 23, 2016, Vistara announced the launch of Port Blair as a new station with flights from 30 September. Indigo launched its first flight to Port Blair on September 28, two days before Vistara. The only route that remains immune is those under regional connectivity schemes, where tariffs and frequencies are mandated by law.

From ambitious to even brave, this airline has come far in 16 years history. There are two things that continue to be monitored – the competition and renewal of the fleet. While the fleet update has become a sustainable process with the first of the A320Neos returned to the lessor and the entire A320ceos fleet is expected to leave in two other quarters, taking competition is dynamic and not entirely in airline control.

Chasing Competition – How and Why?

Indigo is placed uniquely to take competition. Unlike sectors such as retail or hospitality where it takes time to set up a shop near the competition, for airlines it is much easier.

When Indigo took Akasa Air, the first item on the agenda was checked – which increased capacity. What is next? Dropping tariffs, which have also been done now. What’s the difference now? The tariff hat mandated by the government should not allow the tariff to drop the airline for a rolling 15 day period, so that the cheaper rates are available in 16 and so on, unlike in the past when the tariff drops so low so that traveling with buses is relatively more expensive!

But how does it work for Indigo? This airline operates 1,466 daily flights on the average May. When the airline dropped tariffs for flight flights when competitors operate their flights, it might have an impact on income for two or three flights. Do it in several sectors, still no more than 10 flights. That means 0.68 percent of the total flight is influenced by low tariffs. But for the newly launched competition, it could mean that 100 percent of the flight is under pressure! Something faced by AirAsia India directly from its first flight.

The ultimate goal of each indigo size airline around the world is to issue competition and make them empty the market after that airlines can determine their pride higher and produce stable profits!

Headwings?

The slot position at the airport has changed quickly. The airport may not have as many reserve capacity to let Indigo add a closer flight to competitors. Adding capacity to the Metro route also means that the airline must fly more to NorthEast and Jammu and Kashmir to meet the guidelines for the distribution of mandatory routes.

The airline is also at the end of the recipient of the employee. Releasing certain parts of the workforce, salary problems and more may be seen on the ground. The famous performance is no longer a talks for the city. Does the land power lose the VIM that he has ever had? Can the airline continue to work as a team and show the spirit of the boy’s performance behind him to rival? Jet Airways began to waver from its path when around this age. He found it difficult to get out of the economic decline in 2008. How to Indigo?
