New Delhi, Oct 11 (TIWN) Despite market speculations over its future, AirAsia India foresees a sustained passenger demand to power its growth in the coming quarter.
Accordingly, the pandemic-battered airline is in fact going ahead with the planned induction of 5 fully-owned aircraft which will bring down the average fleet age to around three years.
In terms of passenger growth, the company conceded that despite directional imbalance in traffic, the trend is getting more evened out with the emergence of metro-to-metro demand.
Not responding to speculation but affirming passengers’ belief in the brand, Sunil Bhaskaran, CEO and MD, AirAsia India, told IANS: “So far as the air traffic is concerned, it has been highly directional between metro and non-metro cities, though we are now beginning to see the metro-metro traffic coming back.”
