Indian Aviation Sector Shows Mixed Performance in 2025

IndiGo is still the most popular airline, but Air India is getting more customers.
SpiceJet is struggling, with a very small share of the market.
Airlines are filling more seats, but fuel prices are going up.
This could make flying more expensive and difficult for some airlines.
