1)Air India and Indian Airlines maintain a small fleet of 26 and 53 aircrafts which are insufficient and no match to advanced airlines. Majority of these aircrafts are old and obsolete. The British Airways and Singapore Airlines have a fleet of 256 and 80 aircrafts with an average age of 12.1 years.
2)The airlines manpower base is highest in the world. Its average is 700 employees per aircraft as compared to 200-250 average internationally.
3)The airlines in India still serve the elite class of the Indian society. Their fare is beyond the reach of middle class and poor people.
4)Air India and Indian Airlines are facing stiff competition from foreign airlines whose services are better in quality and cheaper.
5)These airlines also suffer from mismanagement. Frequent strikes by pilots, employees and political interference earn bad name to airlines.
6)Also Employes are misusing their extra perks they get, they should have a limit on it.
7)Also Government support is must, if they can help defence department to buy such heavy priced Aircrafts,they can also help you to buy new Airplanes to increase the number.
