In a promising sign for India's aviation sector, domestic air travel experienced a substantial upswing in August. According to the latest data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), Indian domestic traffic surged by 23% during the month. This impressive growth is indicative of a recovering travel industry in the country, following the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The aviation industry in India is poised for further expansion as passenger numbers continue to rise. This development has far-reaching implications for airlines, airports, and the overall economy. It underscores the resilience of the Indian aviation sector and its ability to rebound from adversity.
