It’s been a tough couple of years for this plucky airline, which has been in the forefront of developing Indian’s fast growing market for passenger air travel. The recent takeover by Jet Airways means Jetlite’s position will be between a low-fare and full service carrier. The good news is that Air Sahara continues to be the major sponsor of the Indian cricket team - it must be worth considering them for your Indian air travel on this basis alone. But like choosing a good Indian restaurant - look for the one the locals use - Air Sahara is definitely the airline of choice for domestic air travel in this fascinating, dynamic and sometimes over-whelming country. (Note: no apologies for this view being written from a terribly English perspective, what ?)
