Safe Airlines in India?
This may sound like a silly question but I am traveling to India for business in May and I am supposed to go to Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai. I was told that not all the airlines are safe there. Can anyone recommend the best company (I'm not a good flyer |
). I have the choose between KingFisher, Air India, SpiceJet... Thanks in advance

Kingfisher and Jet are excellent airlines for business travelers. Kingfisher's service is superior to most US and European airlines. They fly brand new Airbus aircraft with TVs at every seat, provide complimentary meals, and amenity kits (even in coach). Jet Airways is very good as well. They fly a young Boeing fleet and provide tasty meals on most flights. India's goverment run carriers (Air India and Indian Airlines recently merged) are as safe as any western airline - however, I personally do not like the no-frills service. I haven't flown any of India's low cost carriers (SpiceJet, Air Deccan, IndiGo, etc.) - but you can't go wrong with Kingfisher or Jet. |

I also flew KingFisher and Jet Airways which seemed totally fine (great service onboard). However, I have just read this article: http://www.eturbonews.com/7451/indian-airlines-not-safe-enough which kind of worried me a little bit. |

I'd recommend Kingfisher. In addition to new Airbus aircrafts, in-flight individual TVs, complimentary meals and amenity kits, they also have staff waiting at every airport who will carry and check your luggage in for you, so you don't have the hassle of struggling with a heavy suitcase or many bags! They will even carry your luggage to your cab and see you safely off - all this at absolutely no cost. |
