The Tatas\u2019 enthusiasm for winning back what was once the country\u2019s iconic airline brand notwithstanding, the skies in which the industry operates have changed considerably. A look at the market share data from the domestic air passenger segment clearly shows that budget or low-cost flights now hold a dominant position, commanding about four-fifths of the market. The Tata group\u2019s full-service venture, Vistara, with no less a partner than Singapore Airlines on board, has struggled to <strong>establish a foothold (a strong first position in a market, industry, etc. from which further progress can be made)<\/strong> and with Air India\u2019s addition, the Tatas find themselves <strong>saddled (load) <\/strong>with a bulk of their combined domestic market share of 23% (as of November) being in the less-in-demand full-service segment. Nor is the group\u2019s newly combined share from the low-cost segment, comprising Air Asia India\u2019s 5.9% and the fractional share that Air India\u2019s Air India Express has, significant enough at the moment to give it scale in the high-volume business. That the group is said to be considering consolidating Air India\u2019s domestic low-cost services along with Air Asia India\u2019s operations is a clear indication that the Tata bosses realise the need to optimise the varied aviation resources that are now in the group\u2019s fold so as to enhance viability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the international front too, Air India faces multiple challenges, not the least of which is the Government\u2019s current pandemic-related curbs on commercial international flights. With foreign carriers restricted to limited capacity under the \u2018Air Transport Bubbles\u2019 arrangement, Air India too has found itself constrained in the number of overseas flights it can operate under the bilateral arrangements with counterpart countries. The Tatas, though, could use the current <strong>curtailment (The temporal property of being cut short) <\/strong>of overseas services as an opportunity to undertake a long overdue <strong>overhaul (The act of improving by renewing and restoring) <\/strong>of Air India\u2019s inflight experience. Also, with Vistara now operating to a few select overseas destinations, the Tatas will need to decide if they would want a younger in-house competitor to Air India once COVID-19 restrictions are lifted and normalcy restored as regards international flights. For the Tata group, the choices going forward will need to be strategic. With the domestic market set to see more <strong>churn (the number of customers who decide to stop using a service offered by one company and to use another company, usually because it offers a better service or price) <\/strong>with at least one new budget airline set to enter and other rivals struggling for capital, the group needs to decide whether it wants to add capacity to budget offerings or stay a predominantly full-service carrier at a time when the more lucrative business class travel has been hit. And with aviation fuel costs set to soar further, Air India will need to tap into all of the Tata group\u2019s vaunted managerial expertise if it is to turn into a successful buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/exams\/government\/ssc-cgl\/?refcode=3555&amp;utm_source=Blog_The+Hindu+Editorial+Vocabulary%E2%80%93+Feb+1%2C+2022%3B+Day+225_010222_SSCCGLM&amp;utm_medium=Link&amp;utm_campaign=SSCCGLM\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/SSC_CGL_Free_Mock_Test-1024x128.jpg\" alt=\"SSC_CGL_Free_Mock_Test\" class=\"wp-image-13619\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to improve your vocabulary further?\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/vocabulary\/the-hindu-editorial-vocabulary-download-free-pdf\/\">Download the Lists of Word-Meanings of Previous Months here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keep your vocabulary updated with the help of our articles where we highlight 10 difficult words\/ phrases and explain their contextual sense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":14485,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1480,9,1312,1541,1542,2,19,1315,31,18,16,23,47],"tags":[69],"class_list":["post-14484","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-esic-mts","category-esic-udc","category-nhb","category-oscb-assistant-manager","category-oscb-banking-assistant","category-rbi-assistant","category-rbi-grade-b","category-sbi-cbo","category-sbi-clerk","category-sebi-grade-a","category-ssc-cgl","category-ssc-chsl","category-vocabulary","tag-editorials-difficult-words-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Hindu Editorial Vocabulary\u2013 Feb 1, 2022;
