Even recently emerged airline companies are capturing market share and reaping profits by facilitating creative products and services by adopting strategies from global leading airline companies.

For the purpose statistical tools like mean, standard deviation and coefficient of variation are used. The results have stated that standard deviation of total revenue expenditure in Air India is lower than in IndiGo airline.

Due to huge expenses of big organizational management, financial payments and uncontrollable administration expenses Air India has fallen into deep obligation of indebtedness and hence forced for privatisation
