“The aviation sector has become accessible to the people, to the common man. We are the 3rd-largest domestic aviation market in the world today. The number of domestic passengers has increased two and a half times since we took over from UPA. It was 60 million domestic passengers, which has increased at its peak to 143 million,” Narasimha Rao said while speaking to reporters on Friday.
