Aviation regulator DGCA on Monday said domestic air passenger traffic grew to 14.41 crore in 2019, an increase of just 3.74 per cent compared to 2018.
The domestic air passenger traffic grew by 18.6 per cent to 13.89 crore in 2018.
Commenting on the 2019 data, a senior official of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation said, “A bit disappointing. In 2019, we faced headwinds on account of Jet Airways but 2020 is going to be different and the double digit growth should be back sooner rather than later.”
Due to lack of funds, Jet Airways had stopped its flight operations in April last year.
