Indicator Summary

Overview

The percentage of all international travellers to or from India that each set of airlines handles is known as the market share (%) of scheduled Indian carriers and foreign carriers in terms of international passengers carried. It displays the proportion of foreign airlines operating on India-linked routes versus Indian airlines carrying India’s international passenger traffic.

This indicator is significant, because it shows competitiveness, route domination, and the relative strength of Indian carriers in the international aviation sector. Stronger international presence, better network expansion, and better capacity deployment are all reflected in a larger market share for Indian airlines. On the other hand, a larger percentage of foreign carriers could indicate stronger international airline networks, capacity limitations, or restricted long-haul capability.

Market-share trends help politicians make judgements about aviation diplomacy, route rights, and bilateral air service agreements. The indicator emphasises revenue opportunities, competitive difficulties, and the growth potential of Indian carriers in foreign markets for analysts and investors. Additionally, it aids in evaluating how well local airlines are meeting both inward and outward demand, which is essential for both profitability and international growth. All things considered, market share offers a clear picture of the power dynamics in India’s global aviation environment.
