Ghosh discusses airlines building short-haul route premiums through convenience

On November 13, 2026, at the Skift Aviation Forum, Aditya Ghosh, founder of Homage Ventures & Advisors, proposed that airlines can turn convenience into a premium product: reducing friction on short-haul flights through faster refunds, smoother boarding, reliable baggage delivery and better ground connections. He stressed that the commercial test is whether travelers are willing to pay for these improvements; in India, high fuel costs and low fares make cost discipline particularly critical.
