Low cost Airlines in South Asia

Some budget carriers only fly domestic routes within their country of origin, others operate international routes, connecting nearby countries. Mid-haul and long-haul discount airlines fly to destinations in Asia from Australia or New Zealand, the Middle East or Europe.
