I wish there was a subject studying airlines at school. I would love it.

I’m American and I’ve been to India 3 times. Always love their insanely low air fares, they are so low you start to worry how they offer seats so cheap. Indigo is a modern well run airline, air India is scary!

Being half owned by Singapore Airlines, I think Vistara will be a success in India.

Another reason for low profitability is the Indian Railways. It has vast operational network across India with affordable prices unless u opt for premium trains or class. Many of the middle class people opt for rail journey instead of flight due to huge difference in travel cost.

I am Indian and i am impressed with amount of information you have I don't have enough financial independence to support you on patreon but i will promote your channel personally to my friends i used to do that for polymatter , wendover production , Caspian report and many more you are also in my list

I used to fly in Jet Airways from Paris to Mumbai.... I miss them... They were amazing... Better than other French carriers

Dan this case study is brilliant ! You've perfectly exposed how the Indian Aviation Ministry has potential to do alot more for its domestic carriers . Also another factor to consider is that air fares drastically rise up during season time ( sometimes to an extent where flying international is more feasible ) which brings in the affordability factor for the average consumer ( in comparison to other modes such Rail and Roadways ) Looking forward to the Jet Airways video 💯

Here's a fun fact: Most of the Cabin Crew from collapsed Jet, are now part of Qatar Airways Cabin Crew

Do Thomas Cook. I loved working for them and it’s shocking a profitable airline had to shutdown due to the brand as a whole 🥺🥺. I was on duty, 3am, when the news broke it was awful.

I learned a lot from this

Any impact that Indian railways has on passenger volume? Even the growth of airlines has barely dented rail passenger volume

I feel like "Smaller communities" undersells the lack of infrastructure that you have at these airports. The airport closest to my extended family is STV, which was in the government scheme to improve access. We flew into this airport having spent some time in Goa in 2016, which was the last time I went to India. Despite being a city of ~5m people the airport terminal was smaller than the train station in my university city of ~80k people, which would as many passengers in an hour as STV would have in a day!

I love your documentary style videos. Having been with you on this YouTube journey since the early days of Dantorp, it’s a pleasure to watch your channel grow and the quality of your videos increasing. You really have hit professional level. Much love to you from a locked down England!

I feel in many ways that India's aviation industry mirrors that of Mexico. Here in Mexico we have only 4 major airlines (Aeromexico, Volaris, VivaAerobus and Interjet). Corruption is also a key factor here, as Mexicana Airlines - the only other full service airline besides AMX went bankrupt several years ago. Most traffic in Mexico is also VFR, just like in India. Many airports and cities with potential throughout Mexico are also underserved, or have been nearly forgotten about, such as Cuernavaca near MEX, and Guaymas in the North of the country. Similar to Mumbai in India, Mexico City is one of the largest metropolitan areas in the world, yet only has one airport operating at capacity. Nearly all of Mexico's transatlantic traffic comes on foreign airlines. AeroMexico only serves a handful of European cities. Many European airlines dominate the long haul routes from airports in Mexico such as Cancun, Puerto Vallarta and Los Cabos. This is similar how European airlines such as British or Lufthansa dominate in India, because of the perception of Air India by the population, and their lack of international services. Ultimately, I feel several other countries are faced with similar situations as India, such as in Central America and South America (very few airlines, high ticket prices, government corruption, etc). I feel this video was very helpful understanding the airline industry a little bit more deep down so thank you very much for sharing!

Dan just saw that you'll be making A video on Jet Airways!!And I'm dying to watch it as it was my Favorite Airline!!!!

The biggest problem is that most airports are far aware from the cities, with poor connectivity. So sometimes it takes more time to get to the airport than the actual flight times. While the railway in India, most cities are build around the station

Got to know about my country aviation state from a foreign guy! Thank you dan
