Covid surge: Domestic air traffic dips for second straight week
NEW DELHI: For the second week in a row, fewer Indians took the skies given the fresh surge in covid cases across the country. Average number of daily fliers stood at 2,39,000 for the week ended 3 April, less than 2,51,000 in the week ended 27 March, according to a report by ICICI Securities.
In the seven days to 20 March, average fliers numbered 2,57,000.
“The number of fliers per departure declined to 104 (week ending on 3 April) from 109 (week ending on 27 March) in the respective weeks,” the report said, adding that rising covid cases remain an overhang on air traffic.
