Air traffic sees no slowdown; IndiGo flies most passengers, leaves behind rivals by large margin
Even when auto sales and demand for fast-moving consumer goods have been downbeat in the past few months, the domestic aviation sector is soaring high. The domestic passenger growth is up by over 3% on-year with an increase of 25 lakh passengers carried in January-July 2019 as compared to the corresponding period in the last year, recent data from Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) showed. Over 8.25 crore passengers were carried in the first half of 2019.
IndiGo remains the market leader
With more than half of the share of total passengers carried, budget carrier IndiGo is the domestic market leader leaving rivals including SpiceJet and Vistara far behind.
