The highest number of flights-13,896-be operated by Indigo and then Air India 3 720. Air India Express, which sees maximum growth and has 3375 slots, records planned 2,715 departures.

The Diu-Ceshod-Diu flight works three times a week, while Silchar-Imfal-Silchar works twice a week.
How is it for all airlines?
The 2,320 km long journey to Srinagar from Bengalur is the longest route in India. The airline is deployed on this route A321neo, which is also the route of category 2 under the instructions for route scattering (RDG). 119 km route to Kozhikode from Kochi, operated by ATR 72-600, is the shortest way for Indigo. The shortest Indigo route is the 145 km long flight between Srinagar and Jammu, which is also the shortest way in the network for Air India Express and Spicejet, while its longest ATR route is a binding between three times a week Bhubaneswar – Modgeagraj – Kolkata -raipur Services.
Air India, the only Airbus operated with a combined post-fusion fleet with Vistar has its flight to Dehradun from Delhi as the shortest flight at 214 km. The airline has gradually moved many of its sectors and flights to Air India Express, whose longest domestic journey is the same as Indigo, a 2,320 km long journey to Srinagar from Bengalur, while its shortest is Srinagar-Jammu-Srinagar. Spicejet, who intends to soon operate 10 aircraft, would see his longest journey from Bengalur to Dehradun for 1,895 km. The airline also operates the Q400 fleet, while the Q400 fleet sees its longest flight to Shilllong of Delhi, which works twice a week and covers 1,508 km, while the shortest Q400 is 232 km long flight to Delhi.
The Akasa air, which is the neck of the neck with spice for market share, works on Guwahati from Bombai, which is its longest route at 2,074 km, while the 248 km long Guwahati-Agartala sector is for the airline. Among the regional carriers is Let Star Air to Jaipur from Belgaum and operated E145 covering 1220 km, while the Jeypore-Vizag route from Indiaone to Cessna 208 is the shortest at 142 km.
Indigo would fly to 89 domestic destinations, while the Air alliances come up with flights to 51 destinations, a section with regard to its small fleet. Air India continues to fly to 45 domestic destinations, while the subsidiary Air India Express will fly to 38.
How are the airports?
Delhi keeps the lead with 3,480 weeks of departures, while Bengaluru Detheron Mumbai to reach the number two with 2,378 departures. Mumbai has scheduled 2,284 weekly departures. Mumbai, however, will continue to offer more seats, because the growth of Bengaluru is a combination of low -capacity ATR and narrow aircraft. Interestingly, Hyderabad and Pune Airport sees maximum carriers offering home flights on eight carriers. Both play hosts for all carriers except Flybig and Indiaone.
Of the 119 airports for which plans were announced, the stunning 41 has only one airline, which exposes them to the risk of closing if the airline cannot maintain, especially the regional airports that had the history of closure in India. The seven of the top 10 airports in the country has an indigo frequency share of more than 50%.
