Airlines in India are going to have a tough time in the next few years. The airlines will likely face a large population, who will likely prefer air transport in the future. This trend has been going on for the last few years. This has resulted in profits at a consistent pace or the last few years also.

But the trend is going to increase a lot as people have started to prefer air transport more. The pandemic also assisted this trend, as air transport was more secure and well-regulated.

As a result, there is also speculation that there will be an increase in aircraft acquirement by the airlines every year. The speed of acquiring will be around 100 on average. Several of these aircraft will most probably be a replacement for the existing ones.

On the other hand, there is also speculation that Air India is going to place an order for 500 aircraft. This order will likely improve the service and most importantly the quality of travel for the passengers.

The number of aircraft will likely grow at a fast pace. In the last decade, the number of aircraft increased from 300 in 2013 to 700 in 2020. The number of aircraft is likely to be around 1000 in the year 2027. There is also an assumption that the number of passengers, who will use air travel, will be around 350 million this year. Or the next year the number will increase to around 400 million.

To support all this rush, airports are also getting some facelifts. The number of airports is also increasing in numbers all over the country. The Airports Authority of India is also putting in an effort that the number of airports is sufficient in the country to cater to the increase in passengers. The number of airports was 74 in 2014 and it is around 141 in 2022.

The airports are also making it possible for a large population to access different parts of the country. The central government is also putting in efforts in terms of made-in-India aircraft, which will reduce the cost expenses which airlines bear while maintaining an aircraft.

The introduction of various new airlines is also increasing the options for passengers. This is creating a competitive market for the airlines which are local and have been providing service to the people. The increasing competition is also pushing the airlines to provide even better service. It will ensure that people have the best options on offer and can enjoy their travel at a competitive price.

These points are hinting the progress that the air travel sector is going to experience in India. The increasing spending capability of the people is also making it possible for the general population to travel to their destination by air. But increasing rush in a sector also hints at the points like the maintenance that the airlines authorities, as well as the airport authorities, will have to be up to the mark all the time. So, it will be a challenge for everyone involved in this industry.
