On the back of Jet Airways’ collapse as well as the grounding of Boeing 737 MAX planes in the country, the growth in domestic aviation traffic was flat in March.
Indian airlines altogether flew 115.96 lakh passengers last month, a mere 16,000 more than the year-ago period, according to DGCA’s monthly data.
India’s domestic air traffic rise had been leading global trends and had recorded double-digit growth since mid-2014. But since the end of 2018, this growth rate has tapered to less than 1%.
