New Delhi: Indian carriers will operate about 8% more flights during the winter this year, according to data shared by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Monday.
The increase in number of flights is despite Go First, which was about 7% of the domestic market, discontinued operations in May this year.
“It has been observed that there are 23,732 departures per week which have been finalised to/from 118 airports as per WS 23 (winter schedule 2023) compared to 22,907 departures per week from 110 airports in Summer Schedule 2023,” a statement issued by the DGCA, India’s aviation regulatory body, said.
