Air Asia India heads to Delhi
Air Asia India is now working on launching flights from Delhi, in a U turn from their earlier strategy not to turn Delhi Airport. Here are some details of their plans at Delhi.
Air Asia India coming to Mumbai?? Await super low fares
In what may be one of the first big change of strategies for Air Asia in India, they seem to have decided they cannot look away from the Indian metros. Air Asia India, when they launched earlier this year, had decided to focus on tier 2 markets, and open new routes. And hence, they’ve been operating flights from Bangalore to Goa, Chennai and Kochi, and very recently to Chandigarh and Jaipur. I’d almost given up hope on flying Air Asia in India, since they don’t cover my home airport, which is Mumbai. Until yesterday when Mr. Tony Fernandes, the big man at Air Asia, announced his intentions to be flying out of Mumbai, soon. In Incredible India.bombay is changing by…
AirAsia India plans slew of fees, gets thundered by DGCA
AirAsia India is all set to launch next week, and while they are keeping all their cards very close to their chest, it seems the regulator DGCA does not like some of their plans, because they were not informed in advance. Like I wrote last week, Air Asia went down the path followed by SpiceJet in their INR 5 tickets during the launch sale last Friday. How did they turn out different than the other low-fare carriers in India? They plan to charge for everything which is their model across the rest of Asia where they operate.

Air Asia India to fly Bangalore-Goa for INR 990 a.i. from June 12
Yesterday, I put in some details about the expected start of Air Asia India from June 12, 2014. Further, my prediction was that Chennai (MAA) – Bangalore (BLR) was going to be the first route for them. Turns out I was not entirely correct with that. Air Asia will be operating Bangalore (BLR) – Goa (GOI) on June 12, 2014 as its first flight at 3 PM. They have priced the tickets at INR 990 all inclusive, and plan to turn around the plane in 30 minutes. And not all tickets would be at these prices. The next route to be operated will be Bangalore (BLR) – Chennai (MAA) which will operate 2x daily frequencies. So it will be a…
