B A V, Ram Kumar Airline Exit, Market-Share Reallocation, and Competitive Consolidation in Indian Domestic Aviation: Analytical Dataset, FY2015–16 to FY2024–25 Mendeley Data This dataset supports the study titled “Airline Exit, Market-Share Reallocation, and Competitive Consolidation in Indian Domestic Aviation: Evidence from 2015–16 to 2024–25”. It contains a validated airline-year analytical panel constructed from publicly available domestic passenger statistics published by India’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). The dataset covers 22 airlines, 134 airline-year records and 131 valid passenger observations. The files provide annual passenger totals, operating-carrier market shares, year-specific ownership-group classifications, concentration indicators, market-share reallocation measures, confirmed airline exit and suspension events, entrant persistence, regional-carrier contributions and ownership-transition sensitivity treatments. Missing observations are retained as missing and are not automatically treated as zero. Air Odisha, TruJet and Zoom Air remain unresolved or sensitivity-only cases, while Go First’s FY2024–25 passenger observation remains missing in the primary analysis. The dataset distinguishes operating airlines from ownership groups and does not apply present-day ownership retrospectively. It supports descriptive analysis of national market concentration, released market share, contemporaneous gain distribution, entrant persistence and descriptive entry offset. The data should not be interpreted as evidence of direct passenger transfers, causal effects, route-level competition, fare changes, capacity responses, airport-slot effects, service quality or consumer-welfare outcomes. The accompanying workbook provides analytical outputs, validation checks, sensitivity treatments, tables and figure source data required to reproduce the reported results.
