The Federation of Indian Airlines (FIA) is an airline industry body in India. Its members are IndiGo, SpiceJet and GoAir.[2] The functions of the FIA are carried out by an Executive Council composed of the heads of each of the member airlines.[1]
The FIA was founded in 2006. Air India was a founding member of the body, but withdrew in 2014.[3] Jet Airways was a member of the FIA until it ceased operations due to bankruptcy in April 2019. As of March 2017, the four members of the FIA had a combined 80% share of the domestic aviation market.[4]
In October 2016, the FIA filed an appeal in the Supreme Court challenging the aviation permits granted to AirAsia India.[5] In February 2017, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) rejected the FIA's plea to cancel the permit granted to AirAsia India.[6] In March 2017, the FIA opposed Qatar Airways plan to launch an airline in India.[4]
