@capa_india Ajay Singh, Chairman & MD @flyspicejet: It is a shame that a market the size of India does not finance its own aircraft. But Indian banks have limited knowledge & experience of the sector. May need to follow Chinese model of acquiring global lessors. #CAPASummit #IndiaAviation.
@capa_india Ajay Singh, Chairman and MD @flyspicejet: Right now the numbers do not stack up for wide body operations, but we continue to study it. One stop long haul narrow body operations are unlikely to be as successful as non-stop services. #CAPASummit #IndiaAviation.
@capa_india CAPA Advisory & Research: Indian carriers expected to add 90 aircraft in FY2020, of which 30-35 are expected to be deployed on international routes. Fleet would reach a size of 754 aircraft by Mar-2020. #CAPASummit #IndianAviation.
@capa_india CAPA Advisory & Research: In FY2019 there were an additional 21.2mn seats deployed on domestic Indian routes. All of this growth has been delivered by LCCs and two-thirds of it by @IndiGo6E alone. #CAPASummit #IndianAviation
