Failure of Air India and King Fisher can provide clues to future Indian commercial avation

Air India plans to beat strike with new pilots but the Airlines may be crippled forever and a new alternative may be coming in to take the center stage for Indian national carriers.

The failure or Air India and King Fisher Airlines have been catastrophic for different reasons. King Fisher failed because of total and unprecedented failure of entrepreneurial smart of the ownership and management. Air India failed because of red tape and government run inefficiencies in the consumer market place.

Both the extremes are doomed for failures. Lesson learned from King Fisher is that a wine trader cannot become an airline tycoon overnight without the help of proper experts. Air India debacle says a lot about how India is run by its political parties.

That is not the end of the story. Just because Panam was wiped pout, that did not mean the end of commercial aviation in United States. As a matter of fact Panam's collapse gave rise more efficiently run commercial airlines companies like Delta, United, American Airlines, and so on.

India's story can be similar. Jet Airways, and other commercial airlines can survive better and a new version of hybrid Government-private airlines can replace Air India.
