Air India Ltd.’s local market share in June rose to its highest in three years, in a boost for the Tata Group-owned Indian carrier that’s combining with another airline to streamline operations and lure more fliers.
The New Delhi-based airline carried 14.6% of all Indian passengers last month, up from 13.7% in May, according to data from India’s aviation regulator. This is the most since June 2021, when it flew 16.5% of all Indian passengers along with its then unit Alliance Air. Its biggest rival Indigo, operated by InterGlobe Aviation Ltd., had a share of 60.8% in June.
