The Reuters reported about Adani’s potential airline launch on July 23, 2026. The report's exclusive story cited sources saying Adani was considering starting a new airline, which triggered widespread coverage and speculation before Adani Enterprises issued a denial the following day.

“We would like to categorically deny the recent media reports and market speculation suggesting that Adani Enterprises is planning to launch an airline. These reports are entirely baseless and factually incorrect. Adani Enterprises is not evaluating any proposal to enter the airline business,” a spokesperson for Adani Enterprises said.

What’s Happening

• Regulatory Request: Reports said Adani sought changes to a clause that bars operators of Delhi and Mumbai airports from holding more than 10% in a scheduled airline.
• Potential Impact: If approved, Adani could enter the airline market, breaking IndiGo and Air India’s combined 90% domestic market share.
• Government Position: The Civil Aviation Ministry is informally reviewing the issue, with legal opinion sought from the Solicitor General. Cabinet approval would be required for any amendment.

Adani’s Aviation Footprint
