India’s domestic aviation industry has been experiencing a significant increase in air traffic recently. The latest report shows that the country achieved a new record of daily air passengers on Sunday. According to official data, India’s domestic air traffic on Sunday hit a new high of over 4,71,751 passengers, a surge of over 14% compared to pre-Covid levels. This impressive growth rate is attributed to various factors, including robust policies, economic development, and the proactive measures taken by the government to promote regional air connectivity and introduce new routes, which have significantly boosted the sector.
