Adani considers foray into airline business, Centre mulls allowing airport operators to run airlines
The Adani Group is exploring the establishment of its own airline, a shift from its previous strategy of avoiding direct airline operations. This consideration aligns with the Indian government's efforts to enhance competition in the aviation sector, dominated by IndiGo and Air India, which hold nearly 90% of the market share. Preliminary discussions are underway at the Ministry of Civil Aviation to potentially ease restrictions on cross-ownership between airlines and airports, which could facilitate this move.
