Adani Group is exploring non-controlling stakes in regional airlines to improve connectivity at its airports, while ruling out launching an airline. The airport operator is seeking greater flexibility than the current 10% airline ownership cap and has partnered with Star Air in Kutch.

Why this matters

The move extends Adani's recent focus on airport monetisation and regional aviation after reporting 39% Q1 airport revenue growth and backing the regional aviation ecosystem to raise airport utilisation.
