Malaysia Airlines' India route seat count surpasses AirAsia's

On November 11, 2026, Skift Feed reported that Malaysia Airlines has 1% more seats than AirAsia on India routes, while the market size shrank 10% over the same period. The report said AirAsia is shrinking capacity due to fuel cost pressure, but high oil prices and aircraft shortages make it difficult for competitors to take advantage and expand; the longer AirAsia shrinks, the more likely these passively gained shares are to become entrenched.
