Skyscanner has seen substantial growth in the India market over the last few years, with the country moving up among its top five markets.

Skift Take

Skyscanner is growing its presence in India, adding more partners to increase the supply side. Its strategy - investing in supply side first, then focusing on growing the customer base.

India is experiencing a significant surge in travel activity, driven by a burgeoning middle class, increased travel expenditure, and more accessible visa policies, according to Hugh Aitken, Skyscanner’s vice president of strategic relations and development.

Aitken is convinced this travel boom will only escalate further, “The Indian economy is strong and will continue to be strong and the middle class will continue to grow." 

And this is ably supported by: "India has increasingly strong and confident airlines, with Air India going through a transformation and IndiGo placing a huge aircraft order. It has significant supply coming into the market as well. We see significant future growth in India,” Aitken said to Skift during his recent visit to India.
