India’s second-tier airlines face major challenges: part two – Spicejet and Jet confront challenges
While the Indian airline market offers lots of growth potential, it can also be brutally competitive.
This is particularly true for the smaller independent airlines that are set to be increasingly squeezed by the dominant players IndiGo and the Tata Group stable of airlines.

Part two focuses on Spicejet and Jet Airways.
