unique experience ? Ability to manage scale up ? Ability to tightly manage costs

Business strategy of King fisher

? Positioned as a budget carrier that offered a single class- "Kingfisher Class'.
? called its airlines as 'Funliners' to emphasize the

fun-filled experience. ? Coined a term GUESTS instead of passengers ? Within the first six months of its launch, KFA managed to corner a 6% market share in the domestic air travel market ? 38%of indigo pilot can fly in low visible conditions

Business strategy of King fisher
• On popular trunk routes of competitors by offering

cheaper tickets with better on board service. • However, many Jet Airways and Indian Airlines passengers are frequent flyer members who would lose frequent flyer miles by opting for travel by Kingfisher on these trunk routes. (business class passenger) • Kingfisher started King Club frequent flyer program

• KFA modified its 'single class' approach and began to offer an upgraded business class service'Kingfisher First‘ (due to competition) • Kingfisher to go for those unexploited or underexploited routes where direct convenient connections are not provided by Jet Airways and

Indian Airlines. • E.g. The day-return connection between Pune and Delhi on the two new aircrafts • Started offering day-return links on bussiness traffic routes where only midday flights are offered by Jet Airways and Indian Airline

Business strategy of Indigo
• IndiGo’s On Time Performance. (nearly94.37%) • Serving the widest range of food and beverage items

amongst any domestic airline in India • Liberty to passengers to pre-assign seats and choose seats with extra legroom • Attractive collection of desirable in-flight merchandise for sale at compelling prices ? offers same-day morning outbound coupled with evening return nonstop service, as well as afternoon services, conveniently connecting business destinations across India.

cut fuel burn around by 2% ? To reduce cost of inventory holding tie up with Air France ? Has 100 workers per aircraft while other have 115 to 130 ? Centralized Operational system

For on time
? Trained crew to deplane passenger in 6 minutes and

unload the baggage in 10 minutes ? It achieves turnaround time of 20 to 25 minutes (industry avg. time is much more than 30 minutes) ? On an avg. aircraft travels 12 hours a day (competitors 8 to 10 hours)

? Avoid check-in lines with the use of Q-busters.

Additionally, IndiGo today is the only Indian airline with a ‘boarding ramp’ ? IndiGo Q- Busters, a handheld machine which instantly hands over the boarding pass to passengers thereby minimizing the hassle of long queues ? Check in through the self operated kiosks installed at the new terminal for added convenience ? Increase in check in counters from six to eight along with one counter for Excess Baggage Ticket (EBT)
