INDIGO
IndiGo is a private, carrier based in Gurgaon, Haryana, India. The airline started operations in August 2006 and currently holds the largest market share with 24.9 per cent in India. Ranking 11th among the 25 biggest low-cost airlines in the survey done by the CAPA (Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation) Indigo emerged as one of the largest low-cost airlines. Its capacity increased 34.6 per cent ; IndiGo and Indonesia's Lion Air's capacity growth is the second highest among all low-cost carriers , only second to Spane’sVueling Airlines , which added 40 per cent capacity last year.

IndiGo was the largest carrier in the domestic market in Jul-2012

IndiGo has increased weekly capacity by over 30% in the past 12 months, while Jet Airways has been moderating its domestic capacity growth over the last few years with capacity growth coming largely from changes in aircraft configuration related to the transfer of services to its low-cost subsidiary Jet Konnect.
IndiGo monthly passenger traffic: Jan-2006 to Jul-2012

Jul-2012 load factors data shows that in addition to transporting the largest number of passengers in the month, IndiGo, as usual, reported the strongest load factor at 75.5%, although this was down significantly from 86.5% in Jun-2012, reflecting seasonal trends as the peak summer season ends and the domestic market enters its lean season. No airline reported month-on-month load factor gains in Jul-2012, while IndiGo and Air India were the only two airlines which reported marginal increases in load factors in Jun-2012. The sharpest decline, as expected, was seen at Kingfisher, reporting load factors of only 53% despite operating a quarter of the number of aircraft it did a year earlier.

    Emirates Airlines is one of the leading airlines in the industry. It has maintained many sources of competitive advantage in terms of cost and uniqueness which had led to a cost advantage and differentiation advantage. Although cost advantage and differentiation advantage are mutually exclusive, Emirates Airlines was able to sustain both. As for the competitive scope, the company can have either a broad target or a narrow target. Most probably Emirates Airlines is favouring the broad target because it is using both differentiation and cost instead of focusing on one of the factors. On the other hand, a business strategy is a long term plan of action used to reach a particular goal or objective. In the case of Emirates Airlines, its goal is both to have a cost advantage and a differentiation advantage which makes the company’s strategy sustainable.…

There were bigger players like Jet Airways, Air India etc. Recently we saw Spice jet decreasing price as “10 lakh seats at an all-inclusive fare of Rs 2,013 for any domestic flight between February 1 and April 30”,and there was a dramatic change in the price of Jet Airways, which usually doesn’t prefer change in prices – that is if we see history, whenever Indigo has changed the price we couldn’t see any price change factor or reaction as of price change from Jet Airways – so this comes to stay competitive in the market by decreasing price by “Jet Airways is offering the 20 lakh seats on over 450 domestic flights across 57 destinations operated by it and JetKonnect” .
