NEW DELHI: Indian travellers are almost back to flying at pre-Covid level due to the decreasing impact of the pandemic marking a growth of around 37% in domestic air passenger traffic from around 77 lakh in February 2022 to around 106 lakh in March 2022, 12% higher than March 2021, according to rating agency ICRA.
“There were 80,217 departures in March 2022 against 71,548 departures in March 2021,” ICRA said. It also said that the number of departures in March 2022 were higher by around 42%, driven by the increased pace of vaccination and rapid abatement of the third wave of Covid-19, which allowed for quick lifting of travel restrictions.
