Indian Airlines

Re-branded as "Indian" from the more traditional "Indian Airlines" this is the grandfather of all Indian domestic carriers. Still state owned, but heading for an IPO or a merger with Air India, Indian airlines was there before the current explosion of low cost carriers and will still be there once the big bang has started contracting and the number of new airlines decreases as they merge or fail.

Indian Domestic Flights

With over 70 aircraft in the fleet and more jets on order Indian is, by any standards, a major airline.

Its strength lies in the large number of destinations it serves within India and its capability to offer cities and towns outside the trunk routes between Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai. Outside of India its core business is taking Indian workers to the major cities of the Gulf.

For adventurers, mountaineers and trekkers Indian airlines also provide a back door route into Nepal with daily services from Delhi, Kolkata and Varanasi.
