Airlines Indian plans to sell surplus miles to others Our Bureau
New Delhi , Sept. 28 The State-owned Indian and its subsidiary, Alliance Air, plan to sell the surplus available seat kilometres (ASKM) they have logged by operating flights that are largely uneconomical to other domestic airlines.
Services
The acquisition of ASKM, especially on the Category-III routes in the North-East, and Jammu and Kashmir, enable airlines to enhance their services on the major trunk or CAT-I routes by fulfilling obligations laid down for domestic operations by the Directorate-General of Civil Aviation. The airline has indicated that while around 100 million ASKM are likely to be available monthly in CAT III routes, 20 million ASKM are likely to be available in category II and around 1 million ASKM monthly available in category II A routes.
Surplus
The airline has indicated that the surplus of ASKM was likely to be available for a six-month period beginning October this year. Indian already has an agreement with Kingfisher to sell some of its additional ASKM. Meanwhile, at least two low-cost airlines — SpiceJet and Air Deccan — have indicated that they were unlikely to bid for the surplus ASKM being offered by Indian.
