Domestic air passenger traffic up by 31 per cent at 66 lakh in August: ICRA

MUMBAI: Domestic air passenger traffic continued on the growth trajectory in August with volumes growing up to 31 per cent to 66 lakh over the previous month, helped by higher capacity deployment and a downward trend in the pandemic, credit ratings agency ICRA said on Monday.

ICRA said in a release said that the domestic passenger traffic in July 2021 was 51 lakh. “Domestic passenger traffic on a year-on-year basis, however, spiked around 131 per cent over August 2020 traffic of 2.83 million passengers,” it said.
