AirAsia is ready to take to the skies in India soon. Although its global CEO Tony Fernandes accused Indian carriers of ganging up to block its entry in India, Mittu Chandilya, the 32-year-old CEO of the airline's Indian operations, says he could start flying by May end.
In an interview to TOI, Chandilya said,"We will operate in every big city other than Mumbai and New Delhi. Mumbai and Delhi are attractive. Costs are not competitive and competition is a lot more. Plus, everybody is going there. Why would I want to go to an already crowded market, which is going to slow down my aircraft turnaround time? We will hit all other tier-I cities and some of the tier-II cities. We are trying to stay pretty much to the south. We will saturate the 12 to 16 southern airports first."
