The second and final part of our 2025 industry forecast. We started our discussion straightaway with a banger: Which global airlines are waiting in the wings to launch routes to India? Once that was out of the way, we also discussed:

* Air India’s international expansion plans

* The US Big3’s plan for the Indian market

* Will Air India get A350Ks this year from Airbus? Or an IPO?

* Akasa’s strategy for the year ahead. Will that involve a premium play?

* Regional Airlines and the year ahead

* Should we expect new aircraft types to be ordered by Indian airlines in 2025?

* Airbus and Boeing’s plan for India in 2025

* Which new international routes should we expect this year?

* The year ahead for DEL, BOM, and BLR
