Abstract: COVID-19 wreaked havoc on the supply and demand chains of the aviation industry, paving the path for a global economic crisis. Every airline faced the challenge of prioritising passenger safety while simultaneously improving efficiency, lowering costs, and providing exceptional customer service in this environment. In this study, we suggest multi-criteria decision-making that combines plithogeny and the VIKOR methodologies to assess a pool of potential airlines and determine the optimal alternative that satisfies customer wants and expectations while ensuring airline sustainability. According to the study's findings, strict mask enforcement, the provision of PPE kits, the availability of flexible cancellation and travel voucher plans, the cleaning of the aircraft after each flight, and advanced boarding procedures combined with middle seat blocking were the four most crucial factors in evaluating airline service in the Indian context.
