India, given its size and growth prospects, should and will have more than one airline, said Air India CEO and MD Campbell Wilson. Speaking to NDTV about the competitive landscape, Wilson emphasised that Air India remains focused on a much broader transformation."With the growth prospects of India should and will have more than one airline. I think it’s good for India. But we compete against hundreds of airlines," Wilson said."There are more than 200 airlines, most of whom fly to India in some way, shape, or form. And we compete against them every day. I think the more important story is how Air India is transforming, how Air India will be driving the growth of Indian aviation, and how Indian aviation now has the opportunity to bring more of the benefit of aviation to India on Indian soil for Indian people, which was previously not so much the case in the past,” he added.Wilson believes India’s aviation sector is entering a high-growth phase. “All of the winds are at India’s back at the moment, and I think we are in a very, very exciting place. And Air India is incredibly central to realising the opportunity of Indian aviation and making sure the benefits of that growth accrue on Indian soil and are benefiting Indian people,” he said."But with more aircraft coming in—hundreds—and more routes being offered, we will continue to be among the largest markets in the world. The options which will be available for consumers at the end of the day will be fairly remarkable," he shared.Air India's FleetWilson shared that Air India has already doubled its number of flights over the past three years and expanded its international network by around 25%. "Whether it’s Europe, North America, Australasia, East Asia, Middle East, we have already increased the footprint," he noted.The airline’s transformation comes on the back of its massive aircraft acquisition plan. "What we have seen, even with those net hundred aircraft joining—going from less than a hundred aircraft to more than 300 aircraft—what we have seen is really just the beginning. Because the aircraft that we could bring in to drive that expansion were the ones that were already available in the market for immediate use," he explained.“We will more than double the fleet from where we have. Air India’s global footprint is going to be much, much larger. And it should be much, much larger—the size of the country, the growth rate of the economy, the increasing centrality of India in the international supply chain, the size of the diaspora, the physical geography—you have to bring people through India, not just to and from India,” he said.IndiGo Told To End Lease Pact With Turkish Airlines Within Aug. 31.
