Flying facts for foreign carriers sailing Indian skies: are the Indian skies getting crowded? You see for yourself-not heavenwards, but down here: read on!

For those that like to sip and dip into facts at the same time, here are the stats: Air France has introduced 35 flights a week from Paris to India, Virgin Atlantic is cheerfully flying the Bombay-London route daily and not content with regularity, they have also raised their number of flights from four to seven; not to be outdone, Iranian Airline, Mahan Air have added Cochin to their route network from Tehran after scheduling flights to Delhi. If that wasn't enough proof, there is Finnair, all set to launch non-stop flights from Helsinki-Delhi; Qantas already flies three times a week from Sydney to Bombay and our very own Air Sahara has countered all of that by taking its launch of Delhi-London flight up to four times a week! So there!
Domestically speaking of crowding Indian skies, there is a continuous influx of desi players has affected the crowding of Indian skies: Air India has added direct flights from Pune to Dubai and Pune has become an international airport; so have Nagpur and Jaipur. Indian Airlines is Singapore bound now and other no-frills carriers are multiplying too. Air Deccan, (rupee 1 fares), Kingfisher Airlines (beer-y well, hic!), SpiceJet, (previously ModiLuft), Go Air, Magic Air are some names already making waves in the skies
