15 Apr 2024 CW Team

According to a recent report, India's domestic air passenger traffic is estimated to have reached approximately 154 million during the fiscal year 2023-24. This surge in air travel reflects a notable recovery in the aviation sector following the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The report indicates a significant rebound in domestic air travel demand, driven by factors such as increased vaccination coverage, easing travel restrictions, and growing confidence among passengers. The gradual resumption of economic activities and leisure travel has also contributed to the upsurge in passenger numbers.

The robust growth in domestic air traffic underscores the resilience of India's aviation industry and its ability to adapt to changing circumstances. Airlines have been implementing various measures to ensure the safety and comfort of passengers, further boosting consumer confidence in air travel.

The revival of domestic air travel bodes well for the overall recovery of the aviation sector and its contribution to the economy. It also signals a positive trend for related industries such as tourism, hospitality, and trade, which rely on air connectivity for business and leisure purposes.

As India's domestic air passenger traffic continues to recover, airlines are gearing up to meet growing demand by expanding their flight operations and enhancing service offerings. The government's efforts to support the aviation sector through policy measures and infrastructure development are expected to further facilitate the industry's recovery and sustainable growth in the coming years.
