International Air Travel Still Limited in India, says CAPA

06 Dec 2023 CW Team

According to a report by the Centre for Aviation (CAPA), international air travel penetration in India remains notably low, presenting both challenges and potential avenues for growth in the aviation sector. Despite the significant domestic air traffic in the country, international travel has yet to achieve widespread penetration.

The report underscores the need for a comprehensive assessment of the factors contributing to the limited international air travel penetration in India. Issues such as regulatory constraints, bilateral agreements, and the impact of global events may be influencing the subdued growth in this segment of the aviation industry.

While the challenges are evident, the report also points to opportunities for stakeholders to collaborate and address the barriers to international travel. Strategic policy interventions, enhanced bilateral agreements, and industry collaborations could play pivotal roles in unlocking the untapped potential for international air travel in the Indian market.

As India continues to position itself as a global economic player, addressing the limitations in international air travel becomes crucial for fostering economic ties, tourism, and global connectivity. The insights provided by CAPA serve as a valuable resource for policymakers and industry leaders to formulate strategies that can propel the international aviation sector in India towards sustainable and robust growth.
